Yankees Prepare For Decisive Game 6 Tonight

<p>Phil Hughes will start tonight for the Yankees. He gave up seven runs in four innings in a <a href="http://gothamist.com/2010/10/17/last_nights_action_all_tied_up_1.php">Game 2 loss.</a> However, <a href="http://gothamist.com/2010/10/21/last_nights_action_yankees_stay_ali.php">Game 5</a> winner CC Sabathia will be available to come out of the bullpen if needed.</p>


<p>Nick Swisher changed how he wore his pants for Game 5, and the Yankees were happy with the results: a home run, walk, and another run scored. "Gardy and Grandy finally got me to go pants-up. I might have to do it again," he told <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2010/10/21/2010-10-21_swisher_socks_it_to_texas.html#ixzz137JDREvq">the News</a>. The Yankees just have to make sure no one asks him about Cliff Lee: when the Rangers ace came up <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5712106">in conversation</a> in the locker room, Swisher made it clear he didn't care for him. "[Expletive], who cares? I can't wait to hit against his [behind]...I'm not talking about Cliff Lee. I don't give a [expletive]."</p>


<p>A-Rod might want to pay a little more attention to who is running on the field tonight, in case another <a href="http://gothamist.com/2010/10/21/diaz_superfan_would_really_like_to.php">Grim LeRogue</a> tries to defend Cameron Diaz's honor. "The first I heard of it was when I saw it on the cover of the paper. I saw he was very upset, though. It's not a good feeling,' he told <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5712749">reporters</a>. </p>



<p>The Rangers may want to watch out for rowdy Yankee fans as well, after what happened during Game 3's 8-0 shellacking. According to <a href="http://www.crossingbroad.com/2010/10/new-york-fans-can-be-douchebags-too.html">CrossingBroad</a>, TBS cameras caught a stadium attendant picking up bottles, debris, and a foam finger from the Rangers' bullpen as Yankees fans chorused an "asshole" chant. </p>
