On the Yankees beat

one look at that devil rays lineup and i think it wouldn't matter if carl reiner were the opening day starter for the yankees.
ben zobrist in the two hole?

Do not take the Devil Rays or any team lightly! Respect them all and fear none. That is my motto.

I asked Torre what he thought of Kazmir and he said "Who? Does he make sweaters?"

One of the things I noticed about the D-Rays over the years is that they seem to put up a good fight against the better teams (like the Yankees and Red Sox) but absolutely falters against the lesser ones.

Happy Opening Day to my blog buddies.
I can't believe it but I'll be on a plane headed for a foreign land when the Yanks get started, but such is life these days.
I'll be trying to hit the internet as soon as I get to my hotel so I can get the scoop on the game. Otherwise I guess I'll be watching Andy's return to Yankee Stadium on the internet, I've set up my tivo to record it though.

Go Yankees!

That was my over/under post.
Forgot to return to my real name.

I did it again - dammit, no more assuming the persona of Joe Torre. He might have someone come looking for me.
