Opening Day has come and gone and now the reality of the season sets in: the Yankees have 161 more games to reach their regular season goal of winning the AL East.
Yesterday in the Bronx was all fun. The Yankees rolled over the woeful Orioles, 7-2, and it wasn’t even that close. From the first inning when Trey Mancini’s would-be single hit Jonathan Villar rounding the bases, you knew the Yanks were going to win. The O’s have a mix of overpaid veterans, raw minor leaguers, and replacement players that make the Bad News Bears look competent.
