Baseball Season Begins
First game of the season, extra innings, after the As closer blew a save. As/Red Sox split the two game series. The guys over at Daily News Live (SNY, the Mets network) noted the Yanks have an edge pitching-wise because of the back-end of their bullpen. But, one noted that you can't rely on relievers (Mariano aside) year to year. For some reason, however, Joba -- who we saw for a 1/2 year so far -- will be a lock. Aggrh! To add insult, the front-end of the Yanks pen is surely iffy, probably more so than the Mets. Of course, the Mets hitting is iffy too.
