Around SBN: Champions League Preview with Jimmy Conrad

It's underway-Game 1: I'm dreaming already

I know it's only the first spring training game, guys can barely walk let alone run to first base, but Johnny Damon's early 2-3 is an omen of things to come from him. Shawn Chacon pitched two scoreless innings, Aaron Small pitched two scoreless innings and Andy Phillips went 2-2 with a home run. They lost 6-3, but I'm stoked.

I like Phillips and his bat. He hit 48 hr's in two minor league seasons and the Yanks are finally giving some of their prospects a shot at the bigs. He's the type of player that spring training can really help. If he has a hot March, he'll force the Yanks to go to him early and if he drives the ball, he'll force them to keep him in the lineup. Like I said it's only game one, but I'm dreaming already.

game two
do a page refresh in your browser -- we're actually two games in to the season now. :)

nice to see Melky Cabrera go 4-for-5 with 2 RBIs.  i felt bad for him last year the way the Yankees tried to push him along way too quickly.  it would be nice to see him get back on track and one day get another chance in pinstripes.

and how about Kevin Thompson going 3-for-3?  between him and Cabrera maybe that will keep Damon inspired, no? :)

I hope I'm not dreaming because I just scored...
tickets for Opening Day in Anaheim. I'd say that's a nice way to start off the season.

Johnson
looks like Randy Johnson is picking up where he left off last year -- 3 IP, 3 ER, 1 HR.  got lit up by a .230 hitter.

RJ
Here we go again with the long ball and the "mechanics." Let's hope Jorge can work with him this season and there won't be any need for a valet catcher.
