The future is now

In tonight's 6-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians, Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain lived up to their respective hype.

Hughes' line: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HRA, 95 pitches for 66 strikes

Chamberlain's line: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 21 pitches for 14 strikes

Oh, by the way, Boston's lead over the Yankees is now down to five games in the AL East and the Yankees also have a share of the wild-card lead.
