Spring Training

We're only 2 days away from the Yankees first Spring Training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates set at 1:05 on ESPN and I couldn't be more excited. The lineup for this years' squad has been talked about since the disappointing (and embarassing) end to last season. It finally culminated with the addition of Randy Johnson, all star pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The outlook for this season is hopfull amid the steroid scandal that rocked the world of MLB earlier last year (thanks to Jason Giambi). Regardless, the season home opener should be intense as the Yankees are set to play their long-time rival, the Boston Red Sox. It should be interesting to see how the Sox can handle themselves without the help of Pedro Martinex, their hard throwing pitcher, as he has signed a contract with the New York Mets (hm... even more interesting). Needless to say, I'm more than excited to get this season finally underway and watch my boys bring back the World Series back to the Bronx. And maybe I'm a little premature in hopes and dreams, but this season will be nothing short of amazing. On another note, I just bought tickets last night to a game in July! I paid a pretty penny for these seats

given there is more than one new york yankees blog in the class probably makes sense for you to link to each other, and other new york yankees blogs out there, to start building community.

I cant even imagin how much Yankee tickets go for!! My boyfriend just bought tickets to go see the Red Soxs play in tampa, and the tickets were $65 dollars a peice!! Redicilous! I paid $55 for good seats at camdem yards last year and i thought that was high. Considering everything in New York is more expensive i cant even imagin what they are being sold for on like e-bay and stuff. Being a baseball fan can be pretty expensive!
