2009 AL East Division Champs. Take that Boston.

Here Come the Yankees

OK So I got two Division Series tickets this morning in the public sale.

Unfortunately they're for Game 5. But, they're ridiculous seats.

Now I kind of have to root for the Yankees to lose two games to the Twigers just so I can go? Damn. Can't do it.

I wouldn't root too hard for that... Verlander would pitch game 5 if its the Tigers... If its the Twins you can probably safely root for a game 5.

If the Yankees play the Twins, it'll probably be over in 3 or 4.

Game 1 tonight. CC is throwing. Burnett is pitching game 2 and Pettitte going game 3. Bullpen is looking mighty good in the late innings too with Joba, Hughes and Rivera.

So in other words - I'm not going to get to use my tickets.

The yanks are freaking loaded. I just hope the week+ off doesn't effect Burnett and Petite.

Sorry but I hope you don't. This could easily be over in 3. But I'm giving the Twins 1 game, so I'm gonna say it's over in 4.

I know I wish the same thing. I think the Twins may win the Friday night game against Burnett. Then they'll have to face CC again in Minnesota and that's a rap.

Alright dane, did you get any tickets for game 1,2 or 6 or 7 of the ALCS? I am pretty sure, with how the Angels are playing, that you would get to use those tickets...

No unfortunately not. And the freaking tix on stubhub are ridiculously expensive.

I did get a special offer to purchase seats from the Yankees, but first I would have had to drop $12,000 for season tickets next year.

But believe me, I was rooting for the Red Sox. The Angels have had the Yanks # for the last few years. This is going to be a tough series for sure.

[Willie]

Pat Venditte is now my hero. He's an ambidextrous pitcher. That's gonna be a bitch for those switch hitters

[danefan]

Actually got opening day tickets this year at face value for the home opener. Bleacher seats but only $20 each. Now I'm not sure if I'll even be able to go.

Anyone watching the Twins/Yanks Grapefruit League game on ESPN right now?

Denard Span, Twins' leadoff hitter, fouled a ball hard into the stands in the first at-bat of the game and immediately ran over to the person he nailed. Turns out that the whole row of people were wearing his jersey. It turns out it was, in fact, one of his family members according to the announcer. It looked like the lady was hit in the area of the face and was escorted up out of the stands by medical personnel.

Crazy luck.

[Willie]

Yanks are lookin' pretty good so far against the Sawks tonight. Good hitting, and good pitching. Looks like Granderson was a good pick-up.

[UNHWildCats]

Someone should get Swisher a Droid preloaded with Google maps.

[dbackjon]

Yankees suck.

[BlueHen86]

Yankees suck.

The Red Sox rally from a 5-1 deficit to win 9-7.

CC Sabathia threw 104 pitches in 5.1 innings but was clearly tired in the 5th. The Yankees led 5-2 after 5 innings but Sabathia pitched long enough to allow the tying run at the Sox tied it at 5 - 5 in the bottom of the 6th.

[Willie]

Yeah a shitty final four innings. Oh well it's one game. Remember we only beat Boston what, 9 out of the 18 times last season...and we still won it all. So I'm not worried from one game. Granderson showed promise early. Posada was hot. A-Rod and Jeter were ok at best. 161 to go.

[93henfan]

Yankees in last place in the league on Easter. Thank you Jesus!

[BlueHen86]

They have the worst record in MLB and are on pace to finish 0-162.
