		<description>That is why it was annoying when people would say we are only above 500 because we beat Seattle and Houston etc.
When in reality, we are not leading out division because we cant beat the crappy teams in Baseball.</description>

		<description>The offense has awful numbers against power pitchers, their OPS is way below what it is against finesse type pichers. And a much bigger difference than the AL average.

As others have pointed out here, Giambi&#039;s numbers against power pitchers, and releivers, are nothing short of dreadful. Bye Jason.</description>

		<description>~~I’m completely shocked that you didn’t tell us their record against losing teams not named the Mariners.~~

IIRC, the Yankees are two games over .500 this season, against all teams not called the Seattle Mariners. ;-)</description>
