HEY, YANKEES!

Don't sing it... BRING IT.

And so it all begins again. Game one of one hundred and sixty-two. Guthrie versus Sabathia. Orioles versus Yankees. The 2009 season is here. The game starts at 4:05 ET.

Opening Day is one of those things where I can be realistic all spring, I can do until the night before the game, but once it's really here, the fan in me can't help but come out. I've got my cap on, I'm wired up, I'm ready to go. Maybe we can do this thing.

Probably not. No, probably not.

But maybe we can.

I'm PUMPED, baby! LET'S GO, O'S!

yeah...

go up north on I-Standings to MLB. Take the first left to AL, then drive on and on… and on… and on… and on. You’ll pass one sunny haven with some palm trees and three other major metropolitan areas (two very affluent cities and one in which they like the word “heh” a lot… like A LOT). Continue driving.

It will seem like miles and miles of endless dreg, buy eventually, there on the right, you will find yourself approaching Birdland. Well, at least the outskirts of what was once a MAGICAL place but is now nothing but dilapidation. If you listen carefully you might hear the faint call of “magic, magic, magic, magic… make it happen”. On a real clear day you might even see a faded, crumbling structure with the word “BROMO” on it. If you don’t see that don’t be alarmed, just conitnue to drive; down, down, down the interstate. Eventually you’ll get to Birdland. You’ll know it when you see it. There should be an old ugly building, about 11 stories tall, that screams failure with what may appear to be a young garden blossoming in the spring rain… the rebirth of BIRDLAND. Once you get there… Welcome to Birdland

Predictions …

Sabithia will be shelled early, but the Reality Distortion Field that is Hank Steinbrenner will call down to Interim Manager Joe Girardi and insist he pitch at least seven innings. The last batter he faces will be Cesar Izturis, who will hit a towering shot that heads into Eutaw Street.

Teixeira will whiff his first at bat. He’ll miss a throw from Jeter at the bottom of the first because he’ll be on a three-way cell call from his wife and Scott Boras. Then, before his next at-bat, he’ll ask to be taken out of the game because of a hangnail.

This is the second opening day

in a row that I’ve gone in without any optimism. For the 10 losing years before that I always had my list of things that started with “What if” and “If these things go exactly right,” and I always was able to tell myself that it really COULD happen. I feel like a part of me has died :(

Of course, if we score 8 runs in the opener I’m going to be saying WE HAVE THE OFFENSE OMG THIS IS THE YEAR WE’RE HAVING A WINNING SEASON but right now I’ve got nothin…

2. Attempt to purchase standing room ticket; if this fails, look for scalper (which will be an adventure as I’ve never gone this route before).

3. Consume no less than two Esskay Oriole Beef hot dogs and one soft pretzel.

4. Play ball!

Tex Speaks

From the Alex Rodriguez school of trying to please everyone and pleasing no one:

“In a perfect world, the Orioles would have won the World Series every year that I was alive and I’d be an Oriole right now,” he said. “I have so much love for this city, for this organization, but in the business world and in the baseball world, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. And when it came down to it, the Yankees were a better fit for me.”

I was using the live pitch-by-pitch earlier tonight in class.

Did you ever use that mlb.tv app that existed a few years ago for WinMo phones? I forget the name of it, but it was a third party app that tapped into mlb.tv streams and let you watch them on your phone, so long as you had an mlb.tv account. I used it for about a season, but then MLB made the guy stop selling the app.

This was three years ago and MLB hasn’t released a similar product yet. What gives, MLB?!?

anybody else...

falling in love w/ cesar izturis? i mean, he’s already trumped the production of last year’s shortstops.

He’s a GG-level shortstop that won’t be a complete negative at the plate and can steal bases. Cesar looks like the second coming of Honus Wagner after last year.

He spent a lot of the off-season

at the same place B-Rob does, and had Mark McLeamore in his ear all winter about what it will take to be a #2 hitter. And the first thing is plate discipline.

Based on a sample size of 1 game, I’d say he listened.
