* Randy Johnson started his 14th Opening Day and won the start for the 7th time in his career
* The 15 runs the Yankees scored ties for the most runs ever scored on the road on Opening Day
* Barry Zito's outing was the shortest of his career- He completed only 1 1/3 innings, giving up 7 ER

Anyone else totally worried that the Yanks won't have nearly enough offense this season? If Opening Day is any indication of things to come, we're in for quite a ride.

Good Stuff!!!!!!!!!
Lara, I have to ask. You can't really enjoy that nonsense Sterling calls broadcasting can you?
Haha, good stuff though. I hate the Yankees with an absolutely passion but Randy Johnson looked pretty sharp. I think they'll probably win the division.
For the record, Dan- Absolutely not...Sterling drives me insane and is an embaressment to the franchise; I can't stand to listen to him!
