Yankees make it crazy 8's

What a game to go too tonight. I am not going to make this very long as I am tired but the Yankees won their 8th straight tonight. I was never at a game where there was back to back to back homeruns until tonight and that was really fun to witness. Phil Hughes was much better, I still didn't see the homrun but am pretty sure Adam Jones was struck out on the pitch before he hit the homerun anyway it was progress for Hughes and that is a good thing. Phil struck out a career high 9 in 5 innings which is great. Joe Girardi will make a decision on Wang tomorrow and therefore what to do with Hughes. Alfredo Aceves was outstanding in his 2 innings of work and has really taken to this relief role and is becoming very valuable in that pen. MO came in to get one out in the eighth and then close it out after it became a laugher because as Girardi said he wanted to pitch and this is the best way to get his arm strength back. A-rod walked twice and got hit by a pitch. The Yankees will go for 9 in a row tomorrow with Joba on the mound.
