The Mariners handed the ball to King Felix in game 7 to all but ensure a ALCS victory and the franchise's first ever trip to the World Series. But that's just not how it was supposed to be.
Felix was his dominant self, going 8 IP and giving up no runs on three hits. He also had 15 Ks.
However, him giving up 0 runs in 8 IP doesn't matter when the offense doesn't score any runs in NINE innings. Top of the ninth, Ichiro just ... Read More
Beavan/Sabathia
The Yankees score first as Brian McCann doubles in Derek Jeter for a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third. Blake Beavan escaped a bases loaded jam to escape further damage.
However, in the bottom of the 4th, Ichiro (lol) hit a HR to right field. 2-0 Yankees after 4 full innings.
In the top of the 8th, #9 hitter Chris Taylor his a Leadoff HR to make it 2-1. 3 runs later, and we're going into the 9th with a 4-2 lead. ... Read More
Paxton vs. McCarthy
Mariners took a early lead in the first, scoring three runs. They also added 2 in the 5th to make it 5-0. The Yankees scored one run in the 5th as well to make it 5-1. In the 7th, Cano homered to make it 6-1 M's.
A home run by Chase Headley made it 6-2 and Farquhar shut the door for the win.
Mariners are now only down 1-3, and in game 4, will send Roenis Elias to the mound against former Mariner Michael Pineda. ... Read More
Felix vs. Hiroki Kuroda
In the bottom of the first, three straight base hits by Cano/Morales/Seager brought up Justin Smoak with the bases loaded and two outs. He popped out to Brian McCann at C in foul territory. I really wish I had Logan Morrison instead if Smoak.
In the top of third, the Yankee's 9/1/2 hitters (Ichiro/Gardner/Jeter) all had base hits, which made the bases loaded for Jacoby Ellsbury. He struck out looking on a 0-2 sinker. ... Read More

Game 3: Paxton vs. GrayBoth pitchers were perfect through 6, but Paxton gave up a Leadoff HR to Crisp in the bottom of the 7th.
Gray shut us down, but we both took advantage if each other's bullpens.

Game 1
Hernandez vs. Lester
Lester was perfect through 5, but unfortunately for him, Dustin Ackley smacked a HR with one out in the 6th. Felix was perfect though 7, but unfortunately he gave up a leadoff solo HR to Brandon Moss to start the 8th.
In the bottom of the 9th, tied 1-1, Cano led off with a single, followed by Morales, who flew out to RF. Seager was up next, and Cano stole second during his at bat. He grounded out to 2B, and Cano ... Read More
