PRE 9TH INNING

I have to say, blogging games that don't involve the Red Sox is difficult, boring work. Not sure this is going to happen again.

The 9th sets up beautifully for the Yanks. With no one on base, they can pitch to Howard, who will almost certainly strike out. Werth is terrible. And Ibanez, former Mariner or no, probably won't tie the game by himself...
