I think it's weird because we're not used to a night game.

Like, those are not common.

I was looking it up earlier. Do you know how many times the Yankees have opened the season at night in their storied history? One? I came up with zero. Zero. That's not true. No way that that's true. You have one? Which one was it? I have multiple ones. Go ahead. Hit me. Easter Sunday night with Curtis Granderson's debut as a Yankee.

Okay, that's one. You have one? Which one was it? I have multiple ones. Go ahead. Easter Sunday night with Curtis Granderson's debut as a Yankee. The Randy Johnson debut Sunday night baseball against the Red Sox is a Yankee. That's two. Okay. That's all I got. Okay. It's not common as the point. Yeah. I mean, semi-recent. Well, it just doesn't make it feel like opening day. Opening day should be a day game. You should be skipping school to go to Yankees's opening day. I think you're kind of right. Now, with that said, I think

is the... doesn't make it feel like opening day. Opening day should be a day game. You should be skipping school to go to Yankees opening day.

I think you're kind of right. Now, with that said, I think as the day goes on and we are going to do our best to also change that, the carton show with Big Mac will do their best to change that. It is going to start to hit us that, holy crap, there's a baseball game tonight. And not only that, holy crap, there's a baseball game tonight featuring a team.

And I say this unapologetically, and I Holy crap, there's a baseball game tonight. And not only that, holy crap, there's a baseball game tonight featuring a team.

And I say this unapologetically, and I say this yes, as an I-B-O, as an independent baseball observer.

I say this because I believe it.

And I say it because it's really tough to argue.

The New York Yankees are the best team in the American League.

And I know I said that a lot last year, and I guess I turned out to be wrong.

I don't know.

I mean, they did win as many games as anybody else last year.

Yeah, they probably were, but they just weren't good enough when it mattered most.

And so you're probably right regular season-wise.

Toronto had to go on this ridiculous run as we all remember down the stretch in order to equal the, or really the Yankees end up having to equal them. But you know what I mean. It was all because Toronto couldn't lose. So for the most part, you were right. Yeah, and they ran into a team last year, and I think this can change year to year, which we'll get into. They ran into a team in their division that for whatever reason they couldn't be. Like, they had big issues with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mm-hmm. They ran into a team last year, and I think this can change year to year, which we'll get into. They ran into a team in their division there for whatever reason they couldn't be. Like, they had big issues with the Toronto Blue Jays. But as we sit here today, hours away from opening day, as an IBO. No offense, Sean. No offense, Big Mac. My emotions are calm as a cucumber. Tell me what I'm telling lies. The New York Yankees have the best lineup in the American League. Is that a lie?

No. But it doesn't matter. Well, of course it matters. You're

about to start a season in which scoring runs matter. No, it doesn't matter because we know the

Yankees are winning 95 games, 94, 95 games, or getting to the postseason. But what matters

for the Yankee fan is what happens next.
