One month later ... wow. That's how crazy it's been on my end, but like with every start to the Yankees season, business begins to pick up. Joe and I have been feeding the YES Blog with regularity and we all had a lot of fun covering the Stadium's first day of business. The Hard Rock Cafe had a celebratory guitar smash grand opening and while getting their first look at the clubhouse, Nick Swisher told me how 50 grown men became five years old.
A team that spent $423.5 million on people is off to an inauspicious beginning. Because they're the Yankees and invest more than anyone, a 3-4 start creates an uproar. Let's see where this team is by the All-Star break before we attempt to draw any conclusions. Tuesday's 15-5 loss to the Rays was an embarrassment, but Nick Swisher compared it to an Etch-A-Sketch, you need to shake it and start over again.
I recently interviewed Kenny Florian about his part in ESPN.com's MMA Live show, a weekly look at news making headlines in Mixed Martial Arts. We also spent quality time discussing what will be the biggest fight of his life: a showdown against lightweight champion B.J. at UFC 101 August 8 in Philadelphia.
Thursday is the Yankees' home opener, the first official game played at the new Yankee Stadium. It's part of an historic week in New York, one in which the Mets opened Citi Field to regular season baseball and the Rangers will participate in the postseason for the fourth straight year. The YES Blog will have plenty of color commentary and photos of the big day.
