It's Baaaaack!

Baseball season has officially begun tonight. The 2008 World Champion Phillies are facing off against the Atlanta Braves. Right now, the Phils are down 0-4 in the 5th inning.

Friday night and Saturday afternoon the Yankees played their final two exhibition games of the spring against the Chicago Cubs, which many would like to see as the matchup in the World Series. The Yankees christened the new stadium with two wins, outscoring the Cubs 17-5, and hitting seven homeruns. The weather was not very pleasant on Friday night, but at least it held up so they were able to play. After waiting to see the new stadium, I would be upset if they had to cancel the game. The stadium looks similar to the old one, except for that massive screen out in center field. Wow! It's weird to think there's no real history yet at the stadium. Hopefully that will change this season.

Tomorrow, the Yankees begin their season on the road at Camden Yards against a pesky Orioles team. The game will be on ESPN at 4:05 ET. CC Sabathia starts it off against Jeremy Guthrie. GO YANKEES!!

0 homeruns:
