    On a nice little roll right now, so lets keep the hot hand going.

    Game 1: Cliff Lee vs. CC Sabathia
    Game 2: Anthony Reyes vs. Joba Chamberlain
    Game 3: Fausto Carmona vs. Chien-Ming Wang
    Game 4: Carl Pavano vs. A.J. Burnett
    I like the Yankees chances to take 3 of 4 here. The Lee/Sabathia battle could be a good one if Lee gets in a grove. Joba over Reyes easily. Carmona vs. Wang is the game I feel least confident about, but if Wang figures out whats wrong during his bullpens then we should have a good chance to win this one also. Burnett vs. Pavano, gimme dat win.

    I'll be at the game Sunday. Really excited.

    They better light Pavano the fuck up. Anything less that 8 runs is a disappointment.

    I've been to Yankee Stadium twice and the Yankees lost both times, hopefully the streak continues today!

    I really wish Wang would have lined up with Carla. I would have had a lot more confidence going into that game.

    Good crowd there today, huh? Really loud for everyone's introductions. They were even really kind to Wang.

    Well, he has to coordinate with his matching Jeter jersey, pinstriped jeans, and Official NY Yankees Underoos.

    His dedication to his favorite team knows no bounds.

    I'd much rather they would have used an old recording of Robert Merrill for the National Anthem rather than Kelly Clarkson. That would have been the right thing to do.

    I like Kelly Clarkson. I think she did good. Great opening ceremony overall.

    However, lots of pressure for CC. Lets see how he does.

    It's nothing against Clarkson. I just think it would have been the right thing to do to have Merrill do the first anthem in the new Stadium. Where's junc? I think he'd agree with me.

    At least the first Yankee ever introduced at the plate in the new Stadium will be done by Bob Shepard.

    The boos he got today were loud when the Indians were introduced before the game. I could only imagine the consistent boos he will receive every inning he is pitching :lol: .
