5/11: Open Game Thread

There are worse things than getting out of Boston and New York with two wins. Like getting out with one.

First Pitch: 1:05pm EDT

SEATTLE MARINERS            NEW YORK YANKEES

                    

Ichiro RF                   Jeter SS
Winn LF                     Womack LF
Beltre 3B                   Sheffield RF
Sexson 1B                   Matsui CF
Ibanez DH                   Rodriguez 3B
Boone 2B                    Martinez 1B
Reed CF                     Posada C
Olivo C                     Williams DH
Valdez SS                   Sanchez 2B

----------                  ----------

Moyer (4-1, 4.70)           Pavano (2-2, 4.17)

There's no "adjustment" argument for Beltre and Sexson today - they've combined to face Pavano 35 times, with moderate success. Pavano's struggled to miss bats and prevent bleacher souvenirs so far, so there is reason for hope. As for Moyer...well, check out these numbers:

Current Yankees have combined to face Moyer 450 times. They have 150 hits, 61 of which have gone for extra bases, en route to a .333/.389/.582 batting line.

Ugh.

LET'S GO MARINERS!
