Upon the Season Opener and the 1812 Overature

dundundundun-dun-dun-dun- dundun-Boom!

As I hummed this tune to myself, the boys got off to a pretty solid start in Oakland. A-rod continued to solidify his rep as the most dangerous hitter when the game is about to get out of hand, crushing a 2nd inning grand slam to the deep seats. Matsui hit a 3-run bomb later in the game. Damon doubled twice in his Yankees debut, and every stater had a hit except Posada. Bernie Williams had 2 RBI, and 7 total bases. I think that this team may have some decent offensive potential.

On the pitching side, Randy Johnson was solid through 7, giving up only one mistake to the ghost of Frank Thomas for a solo HR. 3 K and no walks for the Yankees ace, and 1 in the win column.

15-2 is a damn good way to jump things off. Hopefully we can get some games at a reasonable hour soon. I'll be at 12 home games this year to check things out. Tonight we have Mussina and Haren. Lets go 1st place Yankees.
