2 Days Before Opening Day: Exhibition game against the Cubs #2

Sorry about the late post. Curiously enough, I was in Chicago the whole day, getting updates from a friend about the game in New York. Unfortunetly he is a Cubs fan, so he wasn't as excited as I was about all the runs and what it means.

In case you haven't heard, the Yankees won 10-1 against the Chicago Cubs in New Yankee Stadium to bring an end to their two game exhibition series and an end to training all together. This is both good and bad. Ever since the Yankees season has ended last year, prematurely if you ask me, I have been waiting for this next season. I have worn something Yankees everyday, leading some of my friends in Indiana if I, too, was getting paid by the Yankees to promote them. No no, I wear it out of pride, for what it stands for. Anyways...

RECAP:
Soriano hit the only Cubs run in the third inning, a home run over the left field wall.

The Yankees, with 10, scored 1 in the second, Robinson Cano single for Matsui to score, 4 in the third, Jeter home run to score himself, Ransom and Gardner, and Teixeira hit a single home run, 3 in the forth, Teixeira home run to score himself, Ransom, and Damon, and 2 in the eight, Duncan home run and an RBI double by Cabrera.

I wish i could say the Yankees looked great tonight with 11 hits, 10 runs, and 0 errors, but I could not watch the game. In two games, 7 home runs, 4 multiple to score multiple runs, I'd say the Yankees are feeling great, looking great, doing great, and are ready for this season.

At the end of spring training, the Yankees end with a 24-8-1 record, winning 19 of the last 21, finishing 2nd over all. They were only behind the Angels by 1.5 games. With the Yankees outscoring the Cubs 17-5 in the last 2 games they are looking great for the start of the season.

Since it is 12:13, I am very tired. I'll read all the reports about the games tomorrow, watch sportscenter when I get back to Ball State and report on it all and how it looks.

Opening Day is just 2 days away. The Yankees start it all off in Baltimore on Monday at 4. I will be watching it on ESPN, probably watching all the games that day.
