Good day all and welcome to “Conversations at Reggie’s Garage.”

Yankees fans had a great day yesterday, June 29. I was in Trenton, NJ at the AA game for a noon start to see Phil Hughes throwing 88 pitches during his 3rd rehab start. He looked great pitching into the 7th inning. He gave up 3 hits and consistently touched 93 mph. I believe he may have another start before he’s recalled to the big club.

With more good news, later that day, I traveled back to the Bronx to see the Yanks beat the Brewers for the 2nd day in a row, 5-2. A.J. Burnett pitched great as he battled through the 7th inning to record his 8th victory of the season.

Continuing a great season, David Robertson pitched the 8th before the “Great One” put the Brewers to sleep in the 9th for his 21st save of 2011.

Pitching again is the name of the game and in both towns the Yanks got the performances needed to chase another championship in 2011.

The team is playing great at this time. The offense, defense and pitching is clicking at this point.

Your friend,

Mr. October
