New York Yankee’s hopefully off to a very long season
Checking the sports news today, I see that the New York Yankees is off to what I hope is a very long season. They opened up at Baltimore yesterday playing the Orioles and went down in defeat 10-5. CC Sabathia, the New York Yankees $161 million dollar man couldn’t get out of the fifth inning. He didn’t record a strikeout in a game for the first time since July 2005 against the Oakland A’s.
Then the icing on the cake for me is Mark Teixeira going 0-4 at the plate. He left the Atlanta Braves after last season and signed a $180 million dollar contract with the Yankees.
In other sports news the North Carolina Tarheels beat the Michigan State Spartans 82-79 and claimed their fifth national championship and second under coach Gary Williams. Ty Lawson led the Tarheels with 21 points and 8 steals followed by Wayne Ellington’s 19 points and Tyler Hansbrough who had 18 points and 7 rebounds.
Michigan State was led by Goran Sutton with 17 points and 11 rebounds and Kalin Lucas with 14 points. Durrell Summers also had 13 points.
