I had a great intro written about the anniversary of the Opener and how funny it is that the Yankees are using one today, but I deleted the whole thing in the sixth because a game like this one doesn’t deserve great intros. This game deserves sad trombones and extra strong toilet paper. If you missed it, be thankful.
It wasn’t terrible the whole way, but don’t let these first several paragraphs fool you. It was BAD.
Green struggled through a scoreless first. Leadoff man Austin Meadows worked a walk, but was quickly caught stealing on a strong throw from Sanchez.
