PREGAME NOTES:
From Pete Abe: The Yanks have scored 2 runs or fewer a whopping 42 times this season, 3 or fewer runs 60 times this season, and 4 or fewer runs 73 times.
Sidney Ponson is a lifetime 3-4, 4.54 ERA, 1.51 WHIP in 13 games (12 starts) against the Mariners. He is a horrifically pathetic 1-4, 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP over his last 8 starts. Please get rid of this chump already and let someone else pitch.
Ryan Rowland-Smith is a lifetime 0-0, 12.27 ERA, 2.73 WHIP in 4 relief appearances against the Yanks.
