Thanks for the Opening Day guys. Thanks for the chat!

Just beautiful, 1-0. Great work by Tillman, DOD, Hunter, Britton and pretty much our entire offense.

Tanaka has decided to abandon the fastball. Decided.

Win Column!

If they don't win a ton when Tanaka is pitching, the NYY are in trouble.

They're due for a season in the AL East Cellar.

I hope so. I really hope they have a losing season. I'll take 80-82. I don't think the Yankees have had a losing season in my lifetime.

They haven't since Buck's first year there.....1992. Yankees. Fans don't know what suffering is.

1992 was the last time (they had 4 straight losing seasons from 1989-1992.)

At which point, George Steinbrenner was booted out of baseball by Fay Vincent, paving the way for Buck Showalter and Gene Michael to rebuild the franchise back into a power over the next several seasons.

I was born in late September 1992 so they've barely had 1 losing season in my lifetime.

There ya go then. They had 38 consecutive 500 seasons at one point.

If it makes you feel any better, after Steinbrenner was reinstated, he fired both Showalter and Gene Michael for their efforts ...... and now, we have Buck.

Steinbrenner's maniacal impulsiveness hurt his own team on numerous occasions ...... and in this particular instance, it helped wound up helping us.
