g103 | seventeen and .... I don't want to count anymore

Mariners 1 | Yankees 4

For a change, I guess I am glad the opposing team's home field didn't have a roof.
Had there been no rain delay, there likely would have been a perfecto.  Or, at the very least, a no-no thrown by one CC Sabathia.  I didn't see any of the game on TV, heard bits and pieces on the radio.  The game started on time but, I think there were at least two rain delays during the course of the nine innings.  Both starters, CC and Fister, kept coming out and coming out.  CC kept throwing strikes and throwing strikes (14 total - and DRob and Mo would add 4 more).

Brendan Ryan, of course, was the one to break up the perfect game, when he singled in the 7th to extend his hitting streak to ten.  He moved over to 2B on a passed ball, but was left stranded when Miggy K'd.

M's had another shot when CC walked the bases loaded and DRob relieved CC.  Adam struck out (after what was apparently ball four was called a strike) and Figgy grounded in to a FC, scoring Justin.  But, the threat would end when Ichiro struck out.

Doug was Doug tonight, getting into a little trouble here, a little trouble there, but keeping them right in it. It's really unfair what he has had to endure this season.  But, he keeps on keepin' on...
