No pictures Pete?!
Thanks for all of the updates on the blog. I almost feel like I am at spring training.
Tex owes Swish a few dinners for taking his place as starting 1B.
I know they must be at the minor league complex, but some pics of Tex, please!
You’re doing a great job, Pete – thanks a lot!
Betsy, I think they’re at Steinbrenner field. Aren’t they reporting for physicals? Or is that tomorrow? When’s the first day of practice?
Teixeira finally
Exciting
I think physicals tomorrow and first workout Wednesday is what I heard.
I’m ruining my work day by making sure i don’t miss any action here… keep up the good work Pete!
pat,
Thanks. I guess I’m anxious for baseball to begin.
M, I thought that position players weren’t allowed to report to the major league complexes until the official arrival date of tomorrow…….?I could be wrong. However, knowing how good the media is at investigating things, I would think they could figure this out…….In any case, more Tex please, lol.
Pete, Does Joba look like he shed a few pounds this offseason?
I’ve seen pictures of Swisher working out with Jeter prior to today.
James Shields is confident, let the war of words begin…the Rays are a bit cocky…hopefully they get humbled once again this season. Funny if you look at their main blog on the st. pete times, the comments area is empty, that says a lot about their fanbase or lack there of…figured there would be more excitement and anticipation after last season for them(they’ll show up in September if there in it I’m sure) but here’s Shield’s declaration….
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Predictions for the Rays to finish beneath the Yankees and Red Sox in the American League East are common these days. They just don’t carry much weight in Tampa Bay’s clubhouse.
“We’re the AL champs, the whole 2009 season until the last day,” James Shields said. “They can pick us third, whatever they want. We proved last year it doesn’t matter what kind of payroll they have, we can win.”
Shields smiled when asked about all the money spent by the Yankees and Red Sox and the arrivals of such names as CC Sabathia, John Smoltz and Mark Teixeira to the rosters of the Rays’ rivals.
“I loved it, loved it,” Shields said. “Because it showed me a lot of the other teams in the American League East decided you really do need some pitching. I think that was kind of a compliment to us. That’s how I took it.”
But in the end, “we’re the team to beat,” Shields added.
Big Tex in the house, can’t wait to see some pics of him and hear what he has to say, he is going to make a huge impact on this team this year.
Pictures of Teixeira, please!
My head is about to expl
Here I’ve been anticipating taking part in Pete’s live chat this afternoon and now the wife wants me to take her to a museum. As if blogging about the Yanks isnt culture enough! I bet Derek Jeter doesnt have these problems.
Thanks Pete! Wonder how the chat will work on my iPhone?
Who’s wearing the thong this year?
drive 4-5
now if you had an iphone you’d be all set . since you have to go to museums i think it’s only fair for you to get an iphone.
plus if you start snapping photos of paintings, they’ll escort you outside
“Who’s wearing the thong this year?”
hopefully not selena roberts.
Thank you, Pete. These posts are awesome !
anyone else notice the New Yankee Stadium opener is scheduled for a 105pm first pitch? Thought that was odd for a Thursday, you’d figure it would be a 7 or 8pm first pitch on national TV..
We’ll all get to look back at today as the beginning of the championship teams again (I hope) so Introducing Tex and Swish. So all the new guys are here? What a dynasty. How many rings? (added by Mobile using Mippin)
randy l,
“now if you had an iphone you’d be all set . since you have to go to museums i think it’s only fair for you to get an iphone.

Unfortunately, it’s a museum of modern art. They probably would think the iphone is an extension of the art and they would keep me,and my phone, as part of the exhibit. lol
“Tex owes Swish a few dinners for taking his place as starting 1B.”
He doesn’t have enough money.

How’d you like that flashback game last night???
That’s a lot of walks and homers that just showed up at the major league camp.
TampaYank-
Home openers are always day games
Gayle,
I know most usual Yankee home openers are day games but I thought this one would be a night since they’re opening the new ballpark….like last year w/ the Nationals where they opened their park on Sunday night baseball

No big deal would be made of it. They’d just assume that the Yanks reacquired Giambi.
