PETTITTE'S HURT, YANKS LOSE & I'M PISSED

How many more Yankees are going to get hurt?  We could literally field a club of 9 with the players we have on the Disabled List.  Who knows officially what will happen to Andy Pettitte, but it appeared while he was pitching his back locked up. It turns out it was a trapezius muscle, read HERE. You'd think that's all we needed... 1 more injury tonight, but no... there were 2 for the Yankees.

Chris Stewart limped off the field in the 7th inning tonight after he was running the bases.  Austin Romine came in for him.  It's unreal... honestly.  It makes you want to punch a wall... but that would mean I would probably get injured.

OK, onto the game.  The Yankees lost, 3-2.  The Yanks seemed lifeless tonight.  When Pettitte went down, it was like the wind came out of the sails.  There were some positives though.  For instance, in the 2nd inning, David Adams cranked a double and Curtis Granderson scored.

In the 7th with the score 3-1 Mariners, Robinson Cano singled and knocked in Ichiro Suzuki. That was it though, the Yankees ran out of  time.

As far as pitching, like I said, Andy Pettitte pitched and he came out after 4.2 innings and gave up 5 hits and 2 runs.  He had 5 strikeouts which is always nice.  Shawn Kelley, Boone Logan and Adam Warren followed and did a good job. The Yankees just couldn't get over the "3" hump.  Oh well.

Final: Mariners 3 - Yankees 2.

Hey, life goes on.
