As it is, this team will take a bit of time to get all its moving parts in gear; a lot of which are refurbs or replacements. But if they hold up for the next few months, I don’t see this team missing out on the playoffs. That’s a mighty big IF given what we’re dealing with; the keys are C.C. and Teix and whether or not they stay healthy and produce even average numbers this year. Not so worried about the rest of the crowd as the Yanks do have depth they didn’t have the year before.

And, er, it may be a little too early to tell, but I think Jeter should DH a lot more than he plays the field, no?

As long as they win, beybayyy, as long as they win…

I barely noticed that Jeets was out today, I thought “something” was missing, but it took me a few innings to figure it out. My conclusion is that, apart from our “Fantastic 5” starters (who are a joy to watch), this team is rather milquetoast, especially when Ichiro is sitting.

Ellsbury is exciting, but he’s not much of a character. Soriano is really the only starting player with a dynamic personality, IMHO.

Solarte is a breath of fresh air with his youthful enthusiasm, but how long will his honeymoon last?

Of course that doesn’t mean I’m not happy to have McCann behind the plate. He is turning out to be the most important move of the off season.

I set the alarm for 2:00 AM today, saw the whole beautiful game and went back to bed.

It was well worth it.

Big Papi: does anyone get more free passes then this guy? Pimps every home run, whines on strike outs, named on a ‘list’ but gets to take selfies with the president. A-Rod gets on a ‘list’ and is banned for a year..it’s crazy.

Now, win the series tomorrow night!

(it’ll give me something to watch while I wait for E2 of GoT to show up for torrenting!)

FUCKING TERRIBLE.

He should have been called out.
