The Opening Act - NYY vs. DET 6-3, 3/31/2011


Ah, 2011 baseball is upon us! Below is our post-game report we'd like to put out as often as possible for the Mets, Yankees, or any team you guys want to see; as always, we'll try to offer fresh insight. Please click right on the table to expand the image.


In any case, the Bombers began the season with a beautiful W and in typical fashion; Grandy and Tex backed CC up with one home run a piece. As noted above, I would vouch for CC as the starting pitcher with better real and fantasy game value. Based on his stats, he had good control and kept the ball on the ground except for Miguel Cabrera's long ball. Too bad Jabba walked away with the win on his record.

Final highlight is the ironic at-bat between Phil Coke and Curtis Granderson that swung the game in the Yankees' favor. Two preseasons ago, the Yankees and Tigers traded these players to each other; at least we cashed in one direct win!
