Napoli on Darvish: Yu Can Count On Me

Have I Told Yu Lately That I Love Yu? — Evan Grant All-Star Break essay

Only Yu (And Yu Alone) — any complete game

Is Yu Is Or Is Yu Ain’t My Baby? — locker room drama

A Picture of Me (Without Yu) — disabled list appearance

More Yu Becomes Yu

Terrence, Trent, Darvish — assuming they get two other pitchers named Terrence and Trent and then that is the new starting rotation; kind of a stretch, but I can see it, sort of, because I have an imagination and kind of would be interested in seeing this

Fix Yu — should he run into mechanical trouble somewhere along the way

Someone Like Yu

American Darvish

  3. Doh! I was punning Harvest Moon, but used the sense of blue moon. So Darvish Moon would be a win closest to the autumnal equinox.

  10. I think there are marketing opportunities –

    AT&T – Yu-Verse
    Yoohoo – YuHoo
    Youtube – YuTube

    These could easily be Yused during games – This inning is brought to you by Yu-Verse. Tonight’s YuTube moment. This is the YuHoo inning. If Yu strikes out the side, everyone gets a complimentary YooHoo.
