The Yankees had their home opener today against the Los Angeles Angels and and showed that they are starting to play better as a team. Coming into this game the Yankees were at .500 after being swept by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and then sweeping the Baltimore Orioles in the next series. With the Yankees playing better coming out of the series with the Orioles they showed what they were capable of with a quality win over the Angles who now have a better pitching and have added Albert Pujols. The Angles have had a rough start to their season and that continued today with a 5-0 loss to the Yankees. The Angels have upgraded in many areas this of season and look to be playoff contenders. It does not look like anyone has started to panic as it is still early and there are a lot of games left to play. With the Yankees having won there last four games to improve there record to 4-3 the veterans on the team seem to be starting to warm up and play well at the same time. The addition of Raul Ibanez looks like it may pay off as he has come up big at the plat for the Yankees in some important situations. With a bunch of veterans on the Yankees it looks like they have the experience and ability to be serious playoff contenders and possibly make a run at a world series title. While it is still early the Yankees have got off to a decent start and started to heat up wining their last four games.

I thought it was pretty awesome to see Jorge Posada throw the ceremonial first pitch. I know there is speculation that the Yankees aren't suposed to do well, but I'm rooting against that. Let's go Yanks!
