Opening Day

The baseball season started yesterday as the Yankees played the Red Sox. I was most pleasantly surprised to find that the game was on British TV! It was on pretty late (first pitch was at 1:05 a.m. London time), but I watched it anyway. The Yankees did a pretty good job of putting the universe back in order after last October and beating the Red Sox 9-2.

The team the Yankees put together for this season looks to be much better than the last couple of years. Randy Johnson and Carl Pavano solidified their starting rotation, they filled the holes in their bullpen, and their offense is as potent as ever. Tino Martinez returned in good style last night by making a spectacular play at first base. It should be a great season. Go Yankees!
