The first win is out the way.

As anticipated the New York Yankees had a great opening day game. Specially when you get a win of course, but then also how all the pieces fell in place to create that win. Starting with CC even though he was not as sharp as he can be. He was able to go six innings and allow only three runs. Which we can call it a quality start but we all know that CC is better than that and he probably will be the first one to admit it. Today's start was not to his standards. However is still a good job from CC and the bullpen took over from there, just as scripted with Joba in the seventh, Soriano in the eighth and super Mariano in the ninth. You add a couple of homers there from Teixeira and Granderson, plus some outstanding defensive plays again from Granderson, Jeter and A-Rod and what you get is a great formula for success. There you have it my friends just as advertised. The Yankees had just started their quest for number 28th and even is only one win so far but hey you got to take them one at the time right? So lets this be the beginning of a great season and many more wins to come. For those out there that think that the Red Sox are the team to beat in AL East, well you may want to reconsider that opinion. Now, I do understand that the Yankees need to go through the whole rotation and get contributions from every starter specially from those at he back end  that according to the analysts have questions marks. But as I have made the case on one of my previous postings. The Yankees rotation can match up against any other in the league, specially since they have the power support in their offence to come on top.
