It’s good to see Yankee baseball again. March Madness (which ended in April) is over, and pro basketball and hockey are not very relevant, at least to the Roundtable.
Â
I didn’t see A-Rod’s blooper, but it’s amazing how controversy follows him. Jeter made an error too.

I merely point out the bunt, not because it is incorrect, but because there have been other, (too many to name) situations where a bunt was the “proper” play, but Torre did not utiliize it. As I said, the Yankees have basically taken the bunt out of the offense since the days of Zimmer. Personally, I don’t believe either letting [...]

Gee, Russ, Torre bunts for Phelps, second and third and then Jeter ties the game. That is not an “interesting” move. It was the correct move. We are not pinch hitting for Gehrig there.
Also, I never heard of starting a pitch count on your closer in the first game of the season. Be he age [...]

April 2, 2007 – Bronx, New York – Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. This edition of opening would have been more poetic had it not been for the noteworthy items that occurred. By the way, the new stadium is coming along. Besides the big hole in the ground, you can see (from the parking garage the progress [...]
