I didn't watch it yesterday unfortunately (stupid 3:10 start time). Sounds like CC didn't have his best stuff and I was sorry to hear that Rivera blew the save. Oh well, it's only game 1.

I don't know about you, but David Phelps has impressed me thus far this season. I hope he can continue to keep it up. So glad to see him gaining some big league experience.

Was able to score some sweet Yankee tickets through work for Saturday 4/28. I'm SO excited! My first time being down in almost 2 years, plus I get to see Cabrera and Fielder play. I'm a little bummed because Verlander's slated to pitch the day before but we should have Sabathia the day I'm going. The tickets retail for $600 and have access to some of the bars and clubs and foods included as well as nonalcoholic drinks. I can't wait!

Have a great time, Irish! I still haven't been to the new stadium. Just too expensive.

Thanks SB! I still plan on going down in August because my best friend's a Rangers fan and he's never been down either (he's actually going with me to the Tigers game). You can actually get some bleacher seats pretty cheap for probably under $40. The train is a sweet ride down since it drops you off right in front of the Stadium. I highly suggest you get there if afforded the opportunity.

You lucky SOB! That is going to be an amazing game! Enjoy the stadium, it is like a big sports palace. I have been to a few games there, check out the hardrock cafe in the stadium if u have a chance its pretty good.

I hope to head to the stadium also sometime in August or September when I get some free time from work. Maybe go to a Red Sox or Rangers game if they are in town.

My son, daughter and nephew are going to the Yankee game tonight.

I've been before. This will be my second or third time going. I went when in 2009 and 2010, just didn't make it last year. These tickets are valued at $600, they're in the championship suite. Plus I get free access to the Audi Club and the Mohegan Sun Bar among others. The Audi Club had the best tasting Guiness I've ever had in my life. I'm not sure why it was good (probably the temperature that they had it at) but it was incredibly smooth. Should be an AWESOME day as long as the weather holds out!

Night and day for some in the Yankees rotation. Hughes had the best spring whereas Nova had the worst. Thus far in the early season, Nova's had the best start while Hughes has been the worst.

Damm the Yankees are wiping the floor with the Red Sox.

That was an incredible comeback on the part of the Yankees today. Geez, almost four hours for a nine inning game.

Their games always take a long time.

Oh, by the way, BOBBY VALENTINE SUCKS MOOSECOCK.

Ain't that the truth! What a jerk. And to think his name was mentioned as a possible replacement for Joe Torre back in the day? Puh-leeze.

SC, as a Red Sox fan, I was wondering what you thought of them trading Papelbon?? I think he's a great closer.

I would have preferred if he had stayed with the Sox. He lost a bit of his edge from when he first came up but he is still heads above anyone they have now.

The Sox have made a few BAD moves this past year (hiring Valentine is the worst). I'm not looking forward to a fun season this year.

BIG win for the Yankees last night. Way to keep battling and NEVER give up, even being down 9. Unbelievable come back in the last 3 innings Couldn't be happier that they've spoiled Boston's 100-year celebration.

Boy, Bobby Valentine was pretty quite during the post-game show. I wonder if he's regretting any of those Yankee comments now?! L-O-L

Briefly met Jim Kaat tonight, who was signing autographs at the local BlueClaws game. I was happy to find a card for him on ebay a couple weeks ago for him to sign. Doc Gooden will be here end of June so I got one of his, too, from the same series...

I asked him if he'd be on YES this season, but he said no, he's on MLB Network....





Kitty looks a lot older than he did just a few years ago on YES....

Yankees game tonight! Let's see how long Garcia lasts. I'm NOT happy that Girardi isn't starting CC on his normal rest today instead

Wow, Mo now has a twisted right knee after landing awkwardly shagging fly balls in the outfield. Why is he out there shagging fly balls in the first place?!

ESPN reports that Rivera has torn his ACL. Season over for him, and considering his age, his career too?

Hall of Famer.

I saw this on the news this morning. He tore both the ACL and meniscus. As someone who nursed her husband through that identical injury, I can't imagine how he could come back from something like that. For sure, his season is over, and, quite probably, his career. What a shame. He will definitely go down in the history books.

Not a good way to go out for Mariano!

I think this Robertson guy should be adequate though.

sorry to hear this. i hope who takes over for mariano can win for your guys...other wise expect trade rumors of carlos marmol for a 'i heart new york' tshirt.

I remember Kaat pitching for the Phillies around 76-79. He was considered an older pitcher then. He worked faster than any pitcher I've ever seen. He took barely any time between pitches, which would frustrate hitters. He was a terrific all-around athlete too.

Pettite is slated to start Sunday -- glad we're not rushing him back

Yeah. And I hope they don't move Hughes just yet. He showed some promise in his last start. Yes it was against Kansas City but what's it hurt to see another start or 2?

Mo was diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf. That's pretty serious stuff, and I'm going to guess that he will be put on anti-coagulants for at least 6 months. That might slow his recovery, as doctors like you to limit physical exercise when you're taking them to diminish the risk of bruising/internal bleeding.

I hate to be negative, but I think its over. Love the Mo. Hey, SB, wouldn't it be a complete trip if Jeter wins the batting title? Hamilton is on a tear. Should be interesting.

Mo has gone from, "Write it down, I'll be back," to turning his possible return over to God. It's a brutal injury to begin with, and the clot complicates things. Mo is just lucky they caught it early before it went to his lungs, like Serena Williams's.

When he said he'd be back, I admired him for his spirit. It's certainly possible as there are incredible advances in this field, but I wouldn't hold it against him if he doesn't come back.

Best outing of the year for Hughes. Hopefully he's turned a corner and the Yankees keep him in the rotation when Andy comes back tomorrow. That would leave Phelps the lone man out unfortunately.


By the way, what ever happened to Freddy Garcia? Not that I miss him but I haven't heard his name in about 2 weeks since he was demoted to the bullpen.
