Yankees V Red Sox -- 26-GoingOn-27 Liveblog

(1) 1st Inning - Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu walk, perhaps the patience has returned. Joe Morgan adds that Abreu no longer steals bases - he stole 25 last year. Damon steals second, the Yanks first of the year. A-Rod lets Dice-K off the hook by bouncing into a double play.
Phil Hughes sets the tone by walking Jacoby Ellsbury. Blown pitch out allows Ellsbury to go o 3rd, might as well give him the run now. ESPN informs us that Hughes played 3B until he was a sophomore in high school. Being under the impression that all pitchers began in 8th grade, the fact that Hughes has made it to the majors as a pitcher is stunning. Hughes sends Dustin Pedroia to the bench with a nasty curve. Hughes walks JD Drew to face Manny Ramirez - not a good idea. Manny Delivers, 1-0 Boston. Sac fly - 2-0 Boston. Hughes has thrown a million pitches and given up a deep double to Sean "The weakest hitting 1b in the American League" Casey - I just threw up my dinner.
