Photo: everyjoe.com While in Seattle the sky is sad showing cold and rain because of the Mariners' performance, New York is warm and happy as the Yankees and the Mets are having a great moment. Both organizations fight for the first place in their divisions.
This Monday, one inning was sufficient for the Yankees to beat a better and motivated Baltimore Orioles team, that just swept the Boston Red Sox last weekend. The fourth inning meant four runs, three of them thanks to a decisive Randy Winn's homerun, and the 'Bombers' won 4-1 in the series game opener at Yankee Stadium.
Both starting pitchers looked good. CC Sabathia threw a gem (8.0, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 SO, 2 BB), while Jeremy Guthrie (7.0, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 SO, 2 BB) only struggled in the fourth.
The Yankees scored for the first time when Nick Swisher singled and Alex Rodriguez reached home. Then, Winn batted his first homerun as a Yankee and the team got three runs with the shot: Swisher, Brett Gardner and Winn ran around the bases.
Sabathia was only down in the beginning of the second. Matt Wieters hunted CC's fast ball and blasted a solo homerun to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead, a too short advantage in Yankee Stadium.
The only worry in the game was Jorge Posada's injury. The catcher left the game with a mild calf strain, and he only played five innings against the 'Birds'. Yankees fans, it could be worse, please breath.
Another surprise was that Mariano Rivera didn't appear and there was a save situation. He feels some stiffness in his left side and hasn't pitched since Friday, so Joe Girardi called Joba Chamberlain to do the job in the ninth.
The 'boooo dancing' at Safeco Field
My video for today is a 'booooooooooo' to the umpire at Safeco Field. This Mariners fans were really mad last Friday in the game against the Texas Rangers, but the umpires are not the reason to explain why this team is not winning. Their pitching is good, however they forgot to score runs. Enjoy the video...
