Something Sort Of Grandish!

Posted in Game Recap, MLB, Yankees on April 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Did Curtis Granderson officially become a Yankee? An extra inning home run off of Jonathan Papelbon at Fenway Park seems to meet all the criteria for such a moment. While Granderson will get most of the accolades, the three inning performance by Chan Ho Park deserves its fair share. I wasn’t very excited about Park after his Opening […]

John Lackey makes his Red Sox debut, while Andy Pettitte begins his 12th season with Yankees. The last time the Yankees saw Lackey, he angrily left the mound in Anaheim after being lifted for a reliever in the 7th inning of Game 5 of the ALCS.

Defense was the early theme as the Yankees allowed Jacoby Ellsbury to reach base on a fairly routine pop up. It looked like Marcus Thames should have made the play, which plays to his reputation.

Tommy John is a borderline Hall of Fame pitcher, but mention his name and undoubtedly what will pop into most baseball fans’ minds is the surgery that now bears his name. Unlike Lou Gehrig, John has not been able to overcome the shadow of his medical-related namesake. Then again, that’s probably how it should be. […]

Sometimes things can get magnified on Opening Day, not to mention when the opener is played at Fenway Park. Still, most of the conclusions that can be drawn are usually very basic and already widely known. For example, after yesterday’s loss to the Red Sox, we learned that Nick Johnson works the count, Arod hits the ball […]
