G78 | Sweep-less in the Bronx!

M's 8 | Yankees 4
Nice to avoid the sweep with a bit of dominance! Whodathunk the M's only win in the Bronx would come vs. C.C.?? (especially when our starter, Jason, had the flu!)
very good....
~ the bullpen - that's the one we know and love! Awesome job by Miggy, Mark and David. Although David continues to remind me of Kazu - WAY too many pitches, but gettin' it done WAY more often than not (17 of 18 to be exact)
~ bottom of the order - 9 of the 12 hits were from the 5-8 hitters
~ Ichiro's 2-run double w/2 out in the 4th
good...
~ Joh's throw to catch Jeter stealing 2B
~ M's on base in every inning
~ Franklin's homer
~ Russell's homer
~ Langerhans Mariner debut (2 for 4 w/a double)
~ Jason hanging in through four, keeping 'em in it despite being sick as a dog
not so good...
~ Ichiro's error
~ baserunning (Ryan, Chris and Kenji all thrown out at 2B)

  1. When is Bedard back Lisa?!

    A lot of the M's are doing a good job of picking up the slack while he's gone.

    Looking forward, I really think Seattles going to need to make some deals to keep pace.

    As for All-Star Players. I think Ichiro, Aardsma and Felix will make it.

    Bedard and Washburn will probably get snubbed.

  2. Erik is currently scheduled to pitch Tuesday at home vs. the O's (but stay tuned, as it changes by the moment)

    I've no doubt they will be making some deals...
    So far Ryan's working out well ;-)
