LOL, Mike. Even the grass in the Stadium bleeds Yankee blue. - Robert Stevens
It's very nice stadium. I watched a games 10 years ago there during trip from Japan. :) - gravitino
Can't play Seattle everyday. Yanks five and a half back of Boston. In last place with today's loss. Let's hope the Sox lose their fourth in a row tonight. - Robert Stevens
"NEW YORK (AP) -- Jose Molina thought the ball would be caught when it left his bat. So did the man who threw the pitch, J.J. Putz, and both managers.
Then it kept carrying, and the seven-time Gold Glove winner chasing it, Ichiro Suzuki, couldn't quite seem to find it in the sun.
The ball dropped in, giving Molina a two-out double that drove in the go-ahead run. New York scored four times in the eighth to beat the skidding Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Sunday, the Yankees' first victory this season when trailing after seven innings and their first after falling behind by three or more runs." - Robert Stevens
"Oct. 20, 2004?...How the hell can the NY Post call this one of the "best" Yankee Stadium moments? It was one of the darkest days in Yankee history. A Bronx cheer for you NY Post. - Robert Stevens
"There is the underbelly of the schedule, and there is facing the Mariners. But who cares about fair fights at this point? The Yankees need wins and gladly will take whatever is available, even against a 90-pound weakling." - Robert Stevens
"Here’s what Ichiro told the Seattle writers yesterday: “Playing on this team and seeing what is happening around me, I feel that something is beginning to fall apart. But, if I was not in this situation, and I was objectively watching what just happened this week, I would probably be drinking a lot of beers and booing.” - Robert Stevens
“Yanks win 13-2. 3 in a row. Pettite quality start. Bullpen solid. Robby Canoe solidly out of season long slump. Shelly Duncan will keep the Giambthongino riding the bench.”
“It's a laugher. Yanks up 12-2, bootm five. Good to be on the other end of one of these blow-outs for a change. OMG! Is that Mel Stottlemyre in Mariner dugout? Poor Mel.”
