NEW YORK (AP) -- Kevin Brown was angry.

He had pitched seven shutout innings before giving up Scott Spiezio's home run, and Yankees manager Joe Torre removed him after a two-out single in the eighth. The crowd of 54,732 responded with a standing ovation as Brown walked off the mound and, finally, as he approached the dugout, he responded with a tip of his cap.

While most of the Yankees concentrated on the positives of Sunday's 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners, which gave Brown a 5-0 start for the first time since 1990 with Texas, he chose to dwell on his mistakes.

"I don't know if they can understand," he said. "I feel like I've given them a chance to get back into the game. I'm pretty irritated at myself. At that point in time, I'm not so sure I'm worthy of that kind of appreciation. I'm too busy kicking myself."While Brown gave the bullpen a rest for most of the sunny afternoon following New York's 13-7, 13-inning loss Saturday, backups John Flaherty and Tony Clark drove in the runs. The Yankees, who have won 14 of 18 following an 8-11 start, moved back into the AL East lead, a half-game ahead of Boston.


That Irish temper is going to be the death of him.... :lmao:

Damn right. I love that. Demand nothing but perfection. "There is no substitute for greatness." I hate complaisant players.

I love KB, he's going to grow to be one of my favorites on this team. Nothing wrong with wanting to be a perfectionist.

exactly . brown brings to the table what we have been missing since Oneil retired . alot of fire and passion and a burning desire to be perfect at every opportunity . i only wish brown was an everyday player , it would be nice to have that emotion in the lineup again day in and day out .

The crowd responded with equal emotion too. All of us in the stands were really getting into it, every time he had 2 strikes on a batter the entire stadium would get behind him. He and Vazquez are 2 of the main reasons we are where we are at today.

Gotta love the intensity and demeaner he has. Everyone said it was dumb because of all the injuries etc. he did have like 29 starts last year with a 2.12 ERA, when healthy he is one of the better pitchers in baseball. He's the early Cy Young favorite with Washburn and Silva

No doubt about it. It'd be great if his attitude could rub off on some of the other guys in the starting rotation.
