Opening Day
Opening Day has finally arrived. It began last night with the Braves defeating the Phillies 4-1. Free agent signee Derek Lowe was brilliant for Atlanta. The Yankees hope to get the same kind of performances from their newly acquired aces, CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett in their opening series against Baltimore. The action starts today at 4:05pm at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Sabathia gets the call for the Yanks. Baltimore will counter with their ace Jeremy Guthrie. A solid start for Sabathia will be needed to set the right tone for the Yankees, who have been notoriously slow starters the past couple of seasons going 14-15 in April of 2008 and 9-14 in April of 2007. But enough talk already, It's time to play ball!

I hate u for calling aj burnett an ace...he sucks
ReplyDeleteWhile there are health concerns with Burnett, he certainly does not suck. He sure pitched like an ace last year, winning 18 games while leading the American League in strikeouts. He would be a welcome addition to just about any rotation in the Major Leagues. Including your favorite team, Mr. or Ms. Anonymous.
