Video and pics from the Yanks games yesterday

CC warming up in the pen

Again...

Long toss in the field

First pitch...

Enough of CC already...Jeter hugging Cairo

The captain with his Hawaiian WBC teamate

Ok a little more CC...he K's Cairo

Leadoff triple for cano

But he was lifted for a pinch runner. And I have been lifted for a
pinch daddy. Jacob us done and since he owns me so am I. Thanks for
reading.

Matsui 2 run shot

And Jacob is officially exausted. Jose Vedas in to pitch and subs in
the field for Tex swisher and Damon.

Action in the pen

Could be it for cc.

Sac fly

For swisher follwes by an RBI single by ransom with my boy Gardner
up...who took the first pitch to the CF warning track. Good guys up
5-2. Cc back out there.

2run shot for tex

That landed about 10 feet away from me. Meanwhile based loaded with
one out for swisher.

No real action

In the bottom of the 2nd. But Gardner grounded out to second on a
routine play...except he is SUPER fast. Almost beat it out...I like
him a lot.

Well

That was a long inning for cc.

1 run in for the phillies.

Tex is hot

Or so Michele says. RBI single after victoinos error on damons long
fly ball ball.

Bottom 1st

Gave up a single and a double to rollins but that's it. He's huge!

Speaking of the big man...

Ready and waiting..

We have the opening day roster going today...right down to the big man
on the mound. We are sitting in right field at a picnic table in the
tribune deck. Pretty cool.

Rumor has it...

CC will be on the hill tomorrow!!! VERY exciting!

Today

Today was fun but Wednesday will be much better. I didn't update much
for two reasons. 1) I wasn't emotionally invested in either team one
way or the other (thus further illustrating my release from Braves
fandom). 2) Due to the fact that the Red Sox are a popular team the
only tickets available at the gate were standing room only. It was
neat to see 80% of the Japanese media there to witness their two sons
take the hill. It was also cool to see how tiny Pedroia is in person.
One annoying thing was the fact that the braves and the sox both wore
the same uniform, blue jersey and blue hat...very strange.

P.S. Sox fans are obnoxious. Michele has attended games where Yankee
fans were in force as well as today where the crowd was easily 90% in
favor of Boston and she agrees...awful.

P.P.S. Smoltz was there :(

Red sox lineup

Braves lineup

One last thing

Youk looks even stupider in person at the plate.

All Japanese affair

Kenshin kawakami on the mound for the braves.

Dice k

A little late but we are here. Missed the top half of the inning but
ready now.

Blarg

There are gator fans everywhere...gross.

On our way...

...to Orlando finally. For those of you who have yet to experience
scheduling travel around a baby, please enjoy what you have. Our
orignal plan was to be on the road by 4am but alas here it is 5:03 and
we gave been on the road for only 15 minutes. Luckily for me Michele
got really good at all of this when she was driving all over for her
interviews. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't be leaving until noon...

4 Days and counting...

Until game #1!!

Red Sox at Braves.
