Game 150 - Joba Terrible, Again

Joba Chamberlain once again stunk up the joint and the Yankee bats took a Sunday sabbatical, as the Mariners won 7-1. Joba got roughed for all 7 runs in his 3 innings of "work". The Yanks re-opened their favorite charity, Help an Aging Slugger, with Ken Griffey, Jr. going deep and driving in 4 runs.

Meanwhile, the Yankee offense was nothing but offensive to the senses. They managed 5 hits - 3 by Mark Teixeira. This against Ian Snell, who's ERA soars over 5.00. With the loss, the Yanks were not able to clinch a playoff berth and will have to go to Anaheim for 3 games to try and clinch at least a wild card berth. In the mean time, the Red Sox continue to win as they are heating up at the right time before the playoffs. The Yanks are stuck in win one, lose one rut for the past week.

It wasn't all bad for the Yanks. Sergio Mitre relieved Joba and held the M's to 1 hit in 5 innings. Also, the creepy and feminine Ichiro Suzuki went hitless.

Yankees Record: 95-55
