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!

Awake from your slumber!

Hey ladies and gents!  A stretch and a yawn...ahhh!!! One day away from Spring Training 2011! It's time to wake up, grab the glove and pound your fist in the pocket.  Game time is near!

Gobble Talk

Hey, hey, hey!  Hope everyone had a fun and filling Thanksgiving.  I know it's been quite a while since I've given my two cents on the state of Yankees. After suffering from post playoff early departure syndrome, I found an outlet to forget about the playoffs in the form of work...lots of it.  That being said, blogging obviously took a back seat.

Anywho, so during Thanksgiving dinner my in-laws asked about my thoughts on the "Situation"...the Jeter "Situation". This is new territory now. Jeterians of the Yankee Universe have been torn between the two sides of the negotiation table. (Before going any further...does anyone feel another LeBron "The Decision" type-thing coming in the not too distant future?)

Ok, need to digress one more time. A colleague of mine and Mets "fan" (he's feeling that amazin' pain too much so I use the term fan lightly) made a "little loco" statement that the Mets should offer 72 million over three years for Jeter to play second base and more importantly "stick it to the Yankees!" I only mention this to show that many people are a little bonkers!

Does anyone imagine Jeter not in pinstripes?  Is there some animosity brewing between the Captain and the front office? Does he deserve 25 million a year over five/six years? Is Jeter tarnishing his otherwise pristine image with a bit of greed? Do the Yankees "owe" Jeter something? You get the picture...too many questions and Yankee fans are in between the media and the negotiation table. He said, he said running rampant and fans growing a bit tired of the bullcrap! This is New York afterall. We ain't got time for this.  Stop yappin' and start typin' that contract.  Like Nike says, Just Do it!

ALCS - Short & Sweet

Now that we know the Rangers will be the Yankees ALCS challenger, a few things come to mind:

1. Yanks must beat Cliff Lee!

2. Yanks must keep Burnett out of the rotation.










3. Yanks must hit with runners in scoring position.

The Hunt for Navy Blue October

My ears have been ringin' with all the talk about the Yanks and the playoffs.  My good friend and former Ultimate Road Trip 3 cast mate Eddie Mata seems to think NOT facing Cliff Lee twice in a short series is a pretty good idea.  

Eddie went to Hollywood and got all soft on me like a helmet full of Dippin' Dots on a Saturday afternoon in August!

Fuhgetaboutit!  Yanks need to man up and finish these games out like champs!  Note to self: The Yanks are the defending champions!!!  So while some of our pitchers has left something to be desired (ala Burnett & Vasquez), we still have a great team that can repeat this bad boy! 





 So Yankee Universe, please don't accept second place as perfectly fine.  We still can win this...a little help from Baltimore and KC would be nice, I'm just sayin'.  So buckle up folks, we gonna have ourselves one heck of a ride this week!

PLAN YOUR WORK AND WORK YOUR PLAN!

Yanks vs. Rangers...a playoff preview.

The boys are down in Arlington for a weekend set against the Texas Rangers, in what seems to be a playoff preview between the top dogs of the AL East & West.

Ok, to say I'm not nervous about the series would be an understatement to the 2nd power! Vasquez, Burnett, and Moseley are not the prime time pitchers we want on the mound but they most certainly need to perform like CC, Andy, & Phil!

Oh then there's this lefty guy, Cliff Lee.  He's been funkin' up the place but against the pinstripes...well you know the story.

Buckle up your seats Yankee Universe, we may be entering a band of asteroids with the damage results to be seen on the other side!

P.S.  I know I'm a little late but congrats to  Michael Kay on his engagement to the lovely Jodi Applegate.  

Stay Tuned!
