The Mariners finally showed some signs of life today by beating the Yankees 9-2. It must be an embarrassing day to be a Yankees fan, not only losing to a team that hadn’t won a game since before the All Star break, but giving up 9 runs to the worst offense of the last 50 years in the process.
Sadly, this won’t even be the lead story on Sportscenter, since Ervin Santana had to go out and throw a no-hitter. It was a strange game – Santana allowed only 2 base runners, the leadoff hitter who reached on an error, stole second, was moved over to third on a ground out and scored on a wild pitch, giving the Indians a 1-0 lead and an 8th inning walk. The Indians also managed to commit 5 errors in the game leading to the wonderful final line of 1 – 0 – 5.
Also pushing the Mariners off the lead will be the impending trade of Carlos Beltran to the Giants and the trade of Edwin Jackson to the Cardinals by way of the Blue Jays.
