Sac Fly Rios.... 1-1, end 3

 

[jordan201]

Robbie's batting

 

[tbone95860]

A-Rod walked on 4 pitches 1st AB..... Now he's up..... HOME RUN!!!!!

 

[deepinthajeep]

Loving that Alex homered...

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Okay, just found the boxscore.

@Gardner and A-Rod.

Baseball is back.

 

[tbone95860]

Todd Linden singled home a run..... 4-1 Yanks, middle 3

 

[DeadsetAce]

dude is for sure hitting like 60+ homers this year...had to go and piss him off

 

[briannnnn]

A sure sign of Melky's declining value to the team...or a friendly gesture on his behalf?

UPDATE, 1:16 p.m.: Swisher whiffed to end the inning. Brett Tomko is on and he got Inglett to line to first, Nice catch by Miranda. Then Hill went 5-3. Tomko has 28 now. Melky took 53. The Yankees also have on their new road BP jerseys. They say "New York" across the front and have sort of silver numbers.

Tomko wore #25 with the Royals last season, so I guess he just wanted a number close to that.

[proshares]

I stayed home from work to study and watch the game today and it's not even on TV

 

[briannnnn]

Kei Igawa to pitch the next inning...

 

[tbone95860]

The game is on YES tomorrow vs Rays

 

[deepinthajeep]

good look

 

[bkmac]

Garnder took one deep, 2nd pitch of the game?

A-Rod with an A-Bomb?

Swisher worked a walk on an 0-2 count?

These are things I like to hear after waking up from a short nap

.

 

[yoda]

Kinda

that its not being shown on TV, but kinda

that its not cause I can watch my soccer team play too.

 

[onewearz]

arod's gonna have a monster year

i like gardner, if this kid can hit at least .260 i'd be happy. he's patient and he'll steal at least 35 if he's an everyday player.

 

[frankie valentino]

Reporters seem genuinely shocked Yankee fans gave Arod a standing ovation, don't they realize they care way more about steroids than the fans do?

 

[bkmac]

I think that was after his HR today

 

[tbone95860]

I'm sticking with my prediction from the start when the steroid stuff came out...... A-Rod is going to have a BIG year

 

[tbone95860]

Girardi plans to have RHP Joba Chamberlain make about 30 starts. Girardi set his likely rotation as CC Sabathia on opening day at Baltimore on April 6, to be followed by Chien-Ming Wang, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte and Chamberlain. The rotation appears to give Girardi a choice between Chamberlain and Sabathia for the first game at the new Yankee Stadium on April 16. ... RHPs Jose Veras and Edwar Ramirez are staying with the Yankees rather than pitch for the Dominican Republic in the WBC. ... New York OF Brett Gardner opened the game by hitting a home run off Brett Cecil. ... CF Melky Cabrera switched his uniform number from 28 to 53. ... Yankees closer Mariano Rivera (right shoulder) is expected to throw off a bullpen mound for the first time next week, while DH Hideki Matsui (knee surgery) could ready to play in games next week. Both should be ready for Opening Day.
