Yankees Season Opener

The New York Yankees opened the season with a 7-9 loss to the Red Sox after an uncharacteristically sloppy performance from star pitcher CC Sabathia. The Red Sox’s preseason deals paid off, signing Mike Cameron, Adrian Beltre and Marco Scutaro, who combined went 5 for 9 with 3 RBIs. OBP monster Kevin Youkilis’s three extra-base hits and Dustin Pedroia’s two-run homer sealed the deal for the Yankees, coming back from a 5-7 deficit.

While the Yankees lost, their offseason trade for Curtis Granderson already panned out, who hit a home run in his first at-bat in pinstripes.

While these two teams are no stranger to high scoring affairs, they must be left wondering what the $200M+ payroll afforded to Sabathia and Beckett earned them. The poor outing comes at a bad time for Beckett who is in the middle of negotiating a long-term deal with the Sox. Luckily, one rocky start can’t discredit these aces who will surely show why they are worth the dump truck of money that gets unloaded onto their laps every game.

This matchup is one that will provide excitement for the rest of the season and yesterday’s game was no exception.

Yankees Fans “No Bay… Okay!”

Jason Bay, the newly introduced New York Met has all New Yorkers excited for different reasons. On paper his departure from Boston is a win for both ball clubs, although as it typically turns out for the Met’s, Bay will most likely under perform, have a significant drop in numbers, and or will be injured and forced to retire. Conversely Yankees fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing they no longer have to deal with an over-achiever wearing the red pinstripes.

Jason Bay’s departure from the Red Sox to the Mets, benefits which club, the Yankees, Mets or Red Sox the most? Let me know what you think…
