After all of his trials and tribulations, Santana came back pretty strong this Spring Training but I have to say I didn’t expect him to be named the Opening Day starter. I have to admit, even though I’m a Yankees fan, I’m still pretty happy for him. While I do have a massive disliking for certain teams (Mets, Phillies, and of course the Red Sox) I never really want a player to not play because of injury. Anything else, I really don’t care, especially steroids. Sayonara amigos! Absolutely no sympathy for that.
On that note, only four more days until the Yankees first game against the Rays! Can’t wait!

Happy for Johan, he was one of my favorite pitchers when he was on the Twins and I would love to see him return to Cy – Young caliber this year. I cannot wait for the season to start. The anticipation is finally over.
