Game Preview: New York Yankees @ Seattle Mariners 8/23

The New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners will continue their three-game set tonight inside Safeco Field with the middle game of the series. The Yankees watched a homecoming of sorts last night as Michael Pineda, a former member of the Seattle Mariners, returned to where his MLB career began inside Safeco Field and tonight the Yankees will watch as CC Sabathia toes that same rubber for New York. Opposing CC will be TBA (at the time of this writing... sorry guys I can't be everywhere all of the time)for the Mariners.

Sabathia cannot wait until the calendar turns from August to September because this month has not been kind to the left-hander. Sabathia owns a 6.94 ERA this month and has not allowed fewer than three runs in each of his last four starts. If the Yankees had any sort of pitching depth right now you would wonder if CC would be making the start tonight in Seattle.

TBA

The game will be played at 10:10 pm ET inside Safeco Field and can be seen on the YES Network, ESPN and MLB TV. If a game happens in the middle of the night on the East Coast on a Tuesday and no one is there to see it happen, did it really happen? Well I guess we’re about to find out here in about 10 hours or so. Go Yankees. And before you ask, of course that’s where the bear does his dirty work is in the woods. He does everything in the woods. Go Yankees!
