Let it be Monday

Not that we want to rush the weekend away, but start the season already. Another boring loss to the Pirates today. Another poor performance by Kei Igawa. 5 hits from the offense, 2 of them in the 9th. Derek Jeter and Nick Green hit solo homers for the 2 runs. On the upside, the bullpen was outstanding, though Jeff Karstens appeared to have pulled a groin muscle.

George must be pissed that he has to wait until next year for a win in his self-named park.
