Live Blog – Yankee/Mariners 9/06/08 Yankees win 7-4
Yankees win 7-4
Yankees are 7 and a half games back behind Boston. They can’t afford a slip up against the Mariners tomorrow. If only the Yankees could reach in and grab some of that late 90′s team magic. What’s sad is that it’s 10 years later when the Yankees had the best team of all time and this decade is almost over and the Yankees have no World Series titles. I’m getting a little worried here. The game tonight was a game the Yankees should of won against an inferior opponent and I expect no different tomorrow. Today I said I didn’t want Bobby Abreu on the team but he really can hit. I’d really like to have new blood on the team and this is because I’m a prospect freak. You have to groom winners. It’s hard to show some one how to win when they lose. I’ll do this blog tomorrow even though football will be on all day. I’ll admit, I’ll be switching back and forth a lot.

———————————————————–
“HAWWWT!! three” Yankees win 7-4. Mariano with the save. I’m going to walk just outside my back yard with some water before I do a write up.
33 saves in 34 chances. Sounds great to me.
One more out to go.
I wonder if Pettitte’s son pitches.
Mariano eats lefties alive.
Yeah, Bobby Abreu is player of the game.
Bottom of the 9th Mariners are up.
Inning over and that was a weird called strike 3. It was like, “HAWWT,” “ITE”
I’d like to interview these umpires and ask them what they are saying when they call a strike. No way does, “HAWWWT,” sound like, “strike.”
Top of the 9th Yankees are up
Mariano sawed off the bat to get the out. Lumber jacks love Mariano. Yankees lead 7-4
Mariano almost drilled Lopez.
I take that back. Mariano is coming in the game. Joe isn’t playing around.
Another hit and Joba is out. Mariano is ready.
They just scored off of Joba. Hmm. Yankees lead 7-4
Now I hear the umpire going, “HAWW”
Joba is throwing nasty stuff.
Joba just “slayed” Ichiro. Made him look foolish.
Joba is in. This should be easy.
Bottom of the 8th Mariners are up
That was a lucky catch against A-Rod. He robbed him.
That was a great hustling play by Bobby Abreu. Safe at first.
It’s amazing what Ruth did with those hits.
Jeter is going to pass the Babe very soon with hits.
Not only do the Yankees have to worry about the Twins, Boston and the Rays, they now have to worry about the Blue Jays.
What’s with all these hurricanes as of late. We’ve been getting one after the other. At least we won’t have a drought.
Top of the 8th inning Mariners are up.
Inning over. Yankees still lead 7-3.
That Alfonso Soriano has been destroying the ball as of late.
Bruney is looking strong.
Bottom of the 7th Mariners are up
“Read the Kimberly Jones mailbag.” What could she know that I don’t?
And… another run has scored. Matsui with the rbi. This bull pen by the Mariners is a mess.
Another run has scored. Yankees lead 6-3. The Yankees have no chance of losing this game.
Giambino with a ground ruled double. Another nice shot. Yankees lead 5-3. I’m surprised the Mariners don’t make another pitching change.
Another pitcher hitting A-Rod. He gets hit more than any player I’ve seen.
Bobby Abreu with the triple to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead. Two men were on base. Jeter is fast.
Make that stolen base number 28. That was a nice steal of third.
Damon has 27 stolen bases? It doesn’t seem like it. That’s a lot.
I never understood why a pitcher leaves the dugout after he comes out of the game. Wouldn’t that show he’s not part of the team?
Nice block by I-Rod on the throw to second but the Mariner pitcher did a good job. He’s out of the game.
Top of the 7th inning Yankees are up Mariners lead 3-2
I can’t believe it. I was just going to say, watch the best hitter on the Mariners hit a home run against Ponson because Ponson isn’t really that good. 3-2 Mariners.
Starting Monday, 3 games against the Angels and then 3 games against the Rays. That’s a tough week.
If anyone in the league would be able to threaten DiMaggio’s 56 game hitting streak, it would be Ichiro.
Ichiro is only batting .310. WTH.
Bottom of the 6th Mariners are up. Yankees lead 2-0
I know what I’m having to eat after this game. A nice taylor ham and bagel.
Giambi with the smash home run. 2-0 Yankees. That was a really nice shot. You heard the crack of the bat.
I should of done a football picks thing today. When I just had my brain injury, I was awesome at picking games. I beat every one almost every week and always won at the end of the year. Now that I’m almost normal, I’m not that good at picking games.
Top of the 6th Yankees are up.
This game might be over before 12:15.
This is a close scoring game. I thought the Yankees were starting to get to the Mariners pitcher.
Bottom of the 5th Mariners are up
That hurricane really wiped out a lot of games today.
I can go for some tea right now.
Top of the 5th Yankees are up.
That was a nice play by A-Rod. Mariners don’t score.
This is the perfect team for Ponson to pitch against.
Raul Ibanez looks like a player. I never hear his name brought up in fantasy baseball.
Boston is getting destroyed and Manny had 4 rbi’s tonight.
Bottom of the 4rth Mariners are up. Yankees lead 1-0
Cano is really biting it for my fantasy team.
Top of the 4rth Yankees are up and lead 1-0
That was a nice catch by Jeter. I think he might be able to dunk a basketball.
Wait, that runner was in the grass. A blown call by the umpire.
I was just about to say, cool, a run down but now they call interference?
Federer won easily today. If he plays Nadal, it will be quite a battle.
Bottom of the 3rd Mariners are up Yankees 1-0
If there was no shift, that was a base hit. The infielder fielded the ball in the outfield. That’s crazy that they play him there and he keeps hitting it to them.
Bases are juiced and Giambi is up. I can’t guess what he’s going to do.
My uncle Bill would laugh hard at that name I just gave Sidney. “Ponsony.” He’d say, “Ponsony?” “Ponsony??”
Top of the 3rd Yankees are up.
Ponsony with the 1, 2, 3 inning.
Cano with 3 assists. I’ve been getting on him all year about his lazy fielding.
Bottom of the 2nd Mariners are up.
I play in a fantasy football league and every year I come in either last or next to last. I’m hoping this year is different.
Now that’s a lucky hit by Giambino.
Top of the 2nd Inning. Yankees are up.
When that umpire just called a strike, it sounded like he yelled, “Farrrt.” Mariners don’t score.
That was a nice scoop by Giambi. He was always a decent fielder.
I’m wondering how much longer Ichiro will continue to be great.
Bottom of the first Mariners are up.
Inning over. Yankees 1-0.
That was a nice home run by Bobby Abreu. That was some shot. Yankees 1-0
It’s a nice night in Seattle.
Top of the 1st. Yankees are up.
I missed what they said on tv because I’m angry right now.
Some Yankee fans are such cry babies when you say A-Rod is a choker. It’s so obvious he is. There’s no need to get your panties in a bunch.
That cave man from the Geico commercial looks like Val Kilmer.
Supposedly, this pitcher the Mariners have starting is supposed to be pretty good.
Ok, I got it to work right.
Test.
Oh, this is not cool. Everytime I press save, I go to the saved post.
Test.
An all, old veteran lineup. Not what I like.
Yeah, that Morrow was awesome last night.
Ponson is the only pitcher the Yankees have right now.
Pre Game
I’ll be back at 9:30 PM to start.

The Yankees should win this game. It would be great because Boston is losing.
September 6th, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Thanks for the updates. I’m at a bar.
September 6th, 2008 at 11:35 PM
I can’t believe that home run. Ponson was crusiing.
September 7th, 2008 at 1:37 AM
I want to believe the Yankees will sweep the Angels and Rays. If they were to do that it would be golden.
