Not great, but all Wright

OK, I admit. That was a very bad and very predictable pun. But it sums up Chase Wright's major league debut:

5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3BB, 3 K

Not Cy Young-caliber, but he didn't implode the way Sean Henn did when he made the Double-A to major league jump two years ago. And if the Yankees can hold a five-run lead, he'll get the win.

Now the question is whether he gets another start on Sunday night at Fenway against the Red Sox. You would think he's earned it, and it's not like the Yankees have a lot of other options anyway. But we'll see.

Also, I learned this evening that Scott Patterson will make a spot start in the second game of the doubleheader tomorrow, assuming they play it. It will be his first start in two years.

Did you go to New York Yankee Stadium? Did Chase introduce you to the Yankees like Derek Jeter and Mr. Torre? Chase is my favorite Thunder. Is there a bathroom in the New York Yankees pressbox also?

Of course there's a bathroom in the Yankees pressbox ... all of the writers that follow the team are full of s---t. What I want to know is if Josh saw Phil Rizzuto hanging around. He's funny.

If a yankees prospect takes a s--t during an at-bat, does it smell better than a s--t from a non-yankee prospect?
