I can't remember an opening day sneaking up on me like this one. Between the Giants' magical run and all the steroid talk, I kinda switched off baseball after the Santana trade. I'm happy baseball is back, not sure I am ready for the daily commitment to sweating through games, but I have a feeling it's like riding a bike.
This opening day is bittersweet. The last at Yankee Stadium. It used to be a tradition with my and my Dad, taking the day off school and work and going to opening day. Now it would have cost half a grand to get in the door and the view isn't as good then HD from my couch. It's be sad to see Yankee Stadium go, I hope at least once this year I can go early watch BP and get one more "Let's Go Yankees" chant in.

Thanks for getting this going Gabe! And I hope that you don't give it up in a week. I'd be happy to switch over from the LoHud Journal blog to yours (nothing against Abraham). It's easy already, opening day is postponed so you can get back to work.
I'll have to give your analysis some proper time to reflect, but one quick issue I have is your bullishness on the bench. From everything I've read (and not seen, since I'm shipwrecked here in the heart of Red Sox Nation), the bench is quite weak defensively. Who are are the late inning defensive replacements from that bunch, particularly at first base?
