Still working out the kinks

What's up Yankee fans!!! After nine games and a lost series against our rivals, am I the only person scratching their head in baseball bewilderment?  I mean the Orioles are in first right now!  Even after just nine games, c'mon really? And as much as I want to laugh out loud, the Red Sox starting the way they did will be forgotten in a month.  They are our rivals so you must know them well...the Red Sox will start winning. 

So we now look at our boys.  Despite having super games to open up the season, Teixeira and Posada are trying to find a spot on the field where a defender is not.  The Captain is not looking so good right now either, but I'm not worried.  He will do his thing...and become the 1st Yankee EVER to hit 3,000 while in pinstripes.
Then there's the starting rotation.  Phil Hughes needs to find the can of mojo that must have rolled off his mantle where his all-star cap sits.  Burnett still has work to do and Ivan Nova has lots to prove. CC will work and get it done...business as usual.  The Freddy Garcia/Bartolo Colon experiment still needs a couple more tests...let's complete this in April, not in June.

Yes, yes it's only nine games in and it's not how you start, it's how you finish (shout out to Eddie Mata!), but a strong start beats a s#%&y one...and I'm a Yankees fan...we love WINNING...dah!

Opening Day & Yankees vs. Detroit series

Greetings Yankee fans!  Another year has started and the first series is now complete! How excited are you?!

Me and my former YES' Ultimate Roadtrip 3 cast mate Shelli enjoyed the Opening Day festivities. The excitement and energy was at a high level.  Weather could have been better but winning the opener was well worth the drizzle and wind.


It's looking good folks! Fast start by Teixeira, monster shots by Hip-Hip Jorge, Granderson flashing the glove, Russell Martin taking his duty behind the plate while showing some running ability and pop, and the bullpen trio of Joba, Soriano and MO were lights out!  Ok, A.J. fizzled a bit after a few innings and Phil Hughes wasn't sharp today...velocity still needs some 5 hour energy.  But all in all, we're looking darn good to start the season! Next up, the Twinkies!
