AL East Thread

[tducey]

First Red Sox/Yankees series is in mid April. Should be a back and forth battle between both teams for the AL East this year.

Yankees should consider getting Sonny Gray back for some rotation depth......

Gio looks like he's ready to pick up Sonny's mantle.

That makes the Morrie's Wigs commercial from Goodfellas look great .....

Here's hoping they do to Boston pitching what Jimmy Conway did to Morrie.

To be honest, the Morrie's commercial is classic.....Years later when sick and dying in a NJ senior facility, De Niro visited Chuck Low aka Morrie Kesseler.....Kesseler was a real estate developer in Tribeca and De Niro was one his tenants....

Huh. Did not know that.

The image of DeNiro strangling him with the phone cord while his wig slipped off is a classic one.

Yup, so funny.....Their friendship led to his acting career with the help of De Niro.......

It doesn't even feel like opening day is tomorrow

It's early, but it sure as hell beats last year's weather when both NY teams opened at home. Can't complain about 58-60 degrees in Philly tomorrow.

I didn't have high expectations for the bullpen coming into the season, but I wouldn't have guessed they'd project for 27th in WAR. Yikes. I'm just hoping Durbin Feltman can continue his to ascend quickly throughout the minors and some of the Pawtucket relievers can be somewhat useful.

Yep games played on Saturday on the East Coast are going to feel like a game played in early May.

Hitting 70 here in NYC and Sunny.

Amazing weather for a baseball game in NYC in March

Pretty crazy that Keuchel and Kimbrel are still free agents entering opening day.

Even if they get signed soon, hard to see either guy pitching until May at the earliest

Going to be tough against Verlander but there's a lot of excitement in the Tampa Bay area around this team. One thing is for sure, they can really swing it. Can the opener work again and what will the bullpen be like?

Interesting enough. Andrew cashners birthday is on 9/11. And he's pitching in NY...
