Game Preview: New York Yankees @ Seattle Mariners 9/8



The Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees are back at it again tonight inside Safeco Field with the second of their three-game weekend set out on the West Coast. In the middle game of this series the Yankees will send Lance Lynn out to the mound looking to improve on his last four outings, while the Mariners will counter with Felix Hernandez. You know, it doesn’t matter if the Mariners and the Yankees played a one-game playoff, they always seem to land on the days that Hernandez is set to pitch. Something fishy smells here, I’m just saying, but regardless let’s get to it out here in Seattle.

Lynn has struggled over his last four starts for the Yankees posting an 0-2 record with a 9.16 ERA during that span, ouch. In his last start Lynn allowed six runs on nine hits in just 3.2 innings pitched against the Tigers in a loss, another ouch.


Hernandez was once thought of as a Yankees-killer, which could explain why he is staying in the rotation for tonight’s start against New York. Throughout his career Hernandez has posted a 10-7 record against the Yankees with a 3.00 ERA in 22 career starts.

The game will be played at 9:10 pm ET inside Safeco Field in Seattle and can be seen on the YES Network. You can also follow along with the game on MLB TV, with the MLB At-Bat app, and by tuning into the Yankees radio broadcast on WFAN with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.


Enjoy the game, here’s to hoping that King Felix pitches more like the King’s jester tonight… and go Yankees!!

Hello… Book 2



Good morning Yankees family and welcome back to the blog. Also, welcome back to the weekend. Boy, did I need a weekend, let me tell you about it. I say that sarcastically, it isn’t worth rehashing, not on a beautiful Saturday morning anyway. No work talk, or thoughts until Monday. Happy thoughts and no stress until then.

I wrote a second book, and this one only took me four months to write. I was and am pretty excited about it. I don’t expect anyone to buy it, but if you’re interested it can be found here on Amazon:

Everything I do, I do for you Kari. I love you, and I hope you know that with every ounce of your being.

This Day In New York Yankees History 9/8: ARod Hits #50


Before this day in 2007 only three members of the New York Yankees had ever hit 50 home runs in a single season, Babe Ruth (1920-54, 1921-59, 1927-60, 1928-54), Roger Maris (1961-61), and Mickey Mantle (1956-52, 1961-54). Alex Rodriguez on this day in 2007 hit his 50th and 51st home runs of the season to become the fourth member of the Yankees to ever reach the milestone. Also the second home run breaks the major league record of 49 home runs hit by a third baseman passing Mike Schmidt of the Phillies in 1980 and Adrian Beltre of the Dodgers in 2004.

Also on this day in 1925 Babe Ruth hit his 300th career home run in the second game of a double header between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Buster Ross gave up the milestone home run in the Yankees 7-4 victory over the Red Sox.
