(three games)
And here we are, the opening series of 2009. The Yankees are in Baltimore to open the year against the Orioles. There are always high expected for the Yankees, but when you spend nearly $500 million on three free agents the expectations are even higher.
Last season the Yankees were 11-7 against the O's.

The first preview of the YEAR!!! I can't wait until 4 o'clock. Seeing the Yankees kick butt. Hopefully I won't be sleepy or sleeping. I got 2 hours of sleep at the hospital last night.
DAMN! I have to go to my friend's birthday party (I don't know why he still has them) at a Laser Tag center in the Pallisades Mall.
(He's a Mets fan, so he doesn't give a crap)
I'll record it on my DVR, so I'll watch it when I get a chance.
Greg,
How do you get these stats?
Have fun at the party.
Watch out, I think "Hitler" was at your site last night.
I know. He said,
"Thanks for giving me your site"
And, (sarcastically)
"Poor Liam is sick. Too bad."
is the rain gonna move out of Baltimore by 4? I really cant wait another day
That gut is a jurk. (not you dan)
Dan, Whats up? Or should I say DQ
Yes dan. I'm watching SportsCenter right now and they have a accu-weather map thing and the guy said
"Most likely this game (NYY @ BAL) will be played"
Thank god there not playing in the stadium that I call a piece of junk.
F*UCK YOU!!!
I bet you liam is lieing. He said he was tested around 2 a.m at a hospitalll. What a joke.
hey Liam.. how are u feeling?
I read a great story about Bailout Field aka the Mets new stadium.thought id pass it along....http://fanzak.com/fzrants/Bailout_Field
Yankeeboy,
I get them on Baseball-Reference.com
Get Hitler off this site. You're an asshole just for having that name.
Don't let him bother you Margo. He's probably just a red sox fan.
Dan,
Go down to the predictions commets and find out. It's like a night mare down there.
Hey guys are ya as exited as mee for opening day im on vacation from work and dis is greattttttttt.
I am Yankeefan91! I'm so excited! This is their year!
2009 World Series Champs!
GO YANKKES!!!
I'm home all week so I can watch the Yankees everyday!
CC is going to own today.
Yeah he is. I'm going to predict his line:
7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 7 SO,
Guys, here's today's Opening Day lineup:
#2 Derek Jeter SS
#18 Johnny Damon LF
#25 Mark Teixeira 1B
#55 Hideki Matsui DH
#20 Jorge Posada C
#24 Robinson Cano 2B
#22 Xavier Nady RF
#12 Cody Ransom 3B
#11 Brett Gardner CF
I think he is going 9 innings.
I think Ransom will do a very good job. I think he is going to have 6 homers and a good batting average.
Uh-oh. Hitler's back on my site.
I think Ransom will do great in April.
It's not April fools anymore.
LIAM! RUN! Hitler is coming back here. He said so in a comment on my site! RUN!!!
Yankees this season. 0-162.
........... crap.
No Hitler. It's 162-0.

Hay, don't call yourself a girl. It's not nice.
You son of a B*tch!
Alright. Everyone on this site are girls. They run away from me. This is great. I should flag this site.
You are a B*tch hitler,
Hitler yo momma's so stupid she brought a spoon to the Super Bowl.

I know you didn't do that Hitler. No like you wouldn't do that.
Fine I didn't. Happy.
(YankeeBoy lets go on your blog so we don't have to listen to liam)
This is hilarious. where are u greg are u seen this hahahaha.
Its better listening to Liam than you.
Not to me this isn't.
Are we really going back and forth with momma jokes?
Can we please discuss baseball, maybe the Orioles?
What, you guys lovers? KISSY KISSY KISSY.
I REALLY want to Greg, but Hitler won't stop. (I just started the yo momma jokes to make him stop, but he wouldn't)
OK, you're right yankeefan91 arod fan, this is funny, I just wish there was some baseball talk going on.
OK lets talk about the Yankees. The Yankees got one stupid fan.
This starting to get funny.
"What, you guys lovers? KISSY KISSY KISSY."
Why don't you go back to your husband's bedroom and suck his dick.
Don't call yourself stupid Liam.
yankeefan91 you better shut up.
Greg that's what i was waiting for but all i see is momma jokes and acting immature.
YOU JUST GOT OWNED HITLER. Holy sh*t!
Hitler u are immature Yankee hater.
Here's some questions to get your mind off this guy (please answer them):
- Do you think Jorge will be able to catch 110 games?
- Do you think Mark Teixeira will become a Yankee favorite?
- Do you think Matsui can bounce back?
- Do you think the Yankees will win the World Series?
Stut up guylord.
yes
yes
yes
yes
not you guys, HITLER
Same here yankeefan91.
Yes to all those questions.
Same here also.
No to all of them
Now keep doing this. Just talk Yankees and if Hitler comes up just ignore him.
Did I hear something? It sounded like a depressed Red Sox fan.
Ok, lets talk yankees. THEY SUCK
Greg, have you gotten the photos from the game that I sent you?
I did here something to B-Boy. I also smellt it.
How many homeruns do ya see arod hitting this season?
Captain. the polls close today. Just a reminder.
0
Not 56 like in '07, but I think although he will be missing 3-5 weeks I still see him hitting 35 or more home runs.
Thats how much u would actually hit if u were in a team.
YOUR A FAT ASS!
LOL
How old are u Hitler ? cuz u are acting like a little ass kid.
I see A-Rod having a off year because of his hip. He won't hit 35 but it will be close to there though.
How old is your dick?
Mines 13 years old.
I think after he has the big procedure in the offseason he can have a great season next year. If it bothered him in 2008 than that might have been the reason why he wasn't so good.
Mine's 12! (Hitler's is already chopped off)
Bigger den u.And do u really have to talk like this on a blog are u serious.
You are bitches, every one of you.
No yankeeboy98 talking to the immature hitler
