Have the Yankees found their pitching ace?

Runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs for Seattle in the 5th after a typical performance by Igawa. On comes Colter Bean who throws 8 straight balls to walk a run in. Finally manages to find the strike zone (seems more like he's playing a game of hit the piñata rather than baseball). Then gives up a single. Then gives up a double. Four runs in total. And then he throws two balls to the next batter. Then taken out of the game.

And after that, who's the ace you send in to close out the inning at least cost? Luis Frickin' Vizcaino.

wow 8 run inning

but the way yanks are hitting might still not be enough

I kind of expected this performance by Igawa after the emotional high last week. He continues to be really good or really bad.

Colter Bean is actually from the town in which I currently live.

I wonder if the Yankees will return the favor tomorrow. After all they will be facing Jeff "pinball machine" Weaver.

And he'll be returning there pretty sharpish if he keeps up with that run of form.
