YANKS WIN 9-5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A typically sloppy opening day affair was highlighted by great work from the pen, timely hitting by Jason Giambi and Derek Jeter and a late game surge by Alex Rodriguez who created a go ahead run in the 7th, by singling, stealing second and then scoring on Giambi's second RBI single of the day. In the 8th he turned things into a joke with a mammoth two run shot to left center.

Pavano was good for four innings, then kind of fell apart in the 5th. He needs to be stretched out and that could take all month, BUT, the stuff is there and he should be helpful. Bruney came in and gave up Pavano's final run. Then Henn, Vizcaino, Farnsworth and Mo all pitched scoreless innings that allowed the Yanks to come back and win! GO YANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
