Opening day.
All is right with the world again. Baseball season has started.
Everyone starts fresh, everyone has high hopes. Rookies trying to make an impact. Veterans trying to show what they still have. Players who lost part of last season due to injuries are trying to make a comeback. So much could happen over the course of a 162 game season.
As for the Yankees:
They beat Tampa Bay, 9-5. Carl Pavano made the start and was decent for four innings before giving up a bunch of runs in the fifth. A-Rod actually had an overall good game after starting the game with a strikeout and an error. He singled and stole a base during a critical part of the game, and then hit a 2-run homer to put the game out of reach.
And the Red Sox:
There is Curt Schilling crying in the dugout, as usual. The Sox lost to the Royals, 7-1, and Schilling only lasted four innings. To the Royals!
There are still many games to go, though, and anything can happen. But this marks the official start of spring, and soon we'll get the nice weather on a regular basis, grilling, sitting outside, and taking nice long drives with Melissa and Olivia.
Speaking of Olivia, she is crawling now! Soon she'll just pick herself up and start walking - need to start babyproofing everything now!
And only ten more days until my wisdom teeth come out...

Much as I don't like to concede to a Yankees fan, I gotta say "Schilling crying in the dugout as usual" cracked me up. He's so overdramatic. You know that in school he was the kid in your science group who was like "Come on guys! We only have a MONTH before the project is due! We need to do the outline!"

Don't let that Yankees hat go to your head. I was only being nice.
