on espn.com they said that the Yankee fans that were there gave arod a Standing ovation after the home run
I didn't get to watch the game but I'm curious to see how Tomko continues to pitch. He could be a valuable asset as a long reliever.
He could but I would rather have Hughes be long relief.
LOL Hughes as long relief , man what are you smoking , a 22 year old kid with the potential to be a top starter, rotting away in the bullpen as a long reliever ? hmmm yea that makes sense
Yea I just heard about the standing o on the radio. Nice job by the Yankees fans.
Well he can't be a full time starter. It's either long relief or be in the minor leagues. If I was in that postion, I would want to be in the majors.
Will the Yankees be wearing their pinstripe jersey tomorrow? They usually do in Spring home-openers.
Yea, if Mark Tex. plays tommorrow, then we get to see him in pinstripes for the very first time playing in pinstripes.
Any word on why he (Teix) didn't play today, or at least pinch hit?
No, but he is most likely playing next game because the yanks are at their home field.
nice road BP jerseys this year. i'm gonna have to get me a #13
You don't won't to just be in the majors if youbelieve you have the ability to be a top starter. Hughes and everyone in the organization sees him as a top starter still . That's why he will be happy to work on things in minors until he can take over a full time spot next season. This year he
Will still get spot starts and emergency starts . Prob he will get like 10 starts this season in majors
