The Yanks will try and warsh the awful taste of last night’s loss out of their systems this afternoon at The Stadium, weather providing. It’s a damp morning in New York, and I have to go to a funeral today, so I won’t be around to blog.

Here is some of the reaction to the Nellie-Benitez deal:

Tyler Kepner and Jack Curry in the Times.

Vic Ziegel and Mike Lupica in the News.

Joel Sherman in The Post.

John Heyman in Newsday.

Larry Stone in The Seattle Times.

And finally—for now—Jim Moore and John Levesque in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
