Yankees

Baseball season kicks off today and the Yankees season starts tomorrow.  It seems only fitting the New York's season will start against the rival Red Sox.  Last season both teams struggled and will be looking to start the new season off on a good note.

The Red Sox finished last year with an awful 93 losses and won't be 100% to start the new season.  David Ortiz is struggling with a heel injury and new shortstop Stephen Drew is out with a spring training concussion.  Boston with be pitching their lefty ace Jon Lester who also struggled last year.

New York is also injury-riddled with stars Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson on the day-to-day injury list and Alex Rodriguez out for 4-6 months.  It may be good that Rodriguez is out because he struggled a ton last year but the yankees are locked in to a contract with the aging star until he's 42.  And even though Rodriguez will be out for most of the year he will still earn 29 million dollars more than the Houston Astros payroll!  The Yanks will also be pitching their left-handed ace so get ready for a thriller, at least pitching wise.
