SLYT™ | BAL @ NYY | Game 3 - Baltimore 3 New York 3 | Botton 8th

The Yankees' Home Opener will see a Core Four Reunion , as Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera will throw out the first pitches to Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada.

Kuroda will look to rebound after a so-so start against Houston in his first game out.

Yesterday, Jeter passed Paul Molitor to move into 8th-place on the all-time hit list.

CC Sabathia says he may no longer be the ace of the staff, but he's still got plenty left in the tank.

Over the weekend, the Yankees placed Mark Teixiera on the 15-day DL with a right hamstring strain.

I'm loving Ellsbury in the 3-hole, and Solarte will have to keep playing every day as long as he stays this hot. Kelly Johnson at first base today. I'm really excited about the rotation, too.
