NY Yankees (53-31) @ Seattle Mariners (34-50) Gm 1: Pettite vs. Vargas Gm 2: Hughes vs. Lee Gm 3: Vazquez vs. Hernandez Gm 4: Sabathia vs. Rowland-Smith Interesting match ups here. Seattle made us look pretty laughable last time around in NY and Lee and Hernandez are tough as they come. A series split wouldn't be surprising, if our offense shows up I see us taking 3/4.
YES Network devoting way too much of the game to LeBron Talk. Do they not get that many people are watching baseball to get away from that stuff?
Yep. They showed the replay three times and he's still questioning the call. Maybe live I could see not being sure if it hit Swisher, but on the replay it was clear as day. Seattle bullpen implodes again. Pettitte and Vargas both pitched well, but they did have to pitch out of trouble a bunch of times.
Someone texted me that Lee was spotted near the stadium in Seattle with a "I <3 NY" t-shirt on and luggage. Everywhere I look this deal is "imminent." The only thing is, one condition is that Lee not face us tonight, and that the Yankees have presented their final offer. If someone else overpays, we lose him. I also heard that Jayson Werth was on the way to NY with his wife. hmy: What a way to completely outshine LeBron.
Lee will pitch the first 2 innings against the Yanks tonight as a Mariner, then he'll pitch the last 7 in pinstripes to beat Seattle.
