Opening day is finally here and the Yankees have provided a little video here to get you hyped up.

They are going into the season a little banged up on the pitching staff obviously, but this is something they should be able to manage for the first few weeks of the season. Of the injuries to the starting rotation persist, there could be issues. But let's not dwell on that, there is a lot to be excited about, high on that list is the dawning of the Anthony Volpe era in the Bronx. It would not be surprising at all to see the kid get off to a slow start, but hopefully the Yankee fans will give him a little time to settle in.
The other thing to watch here is how Boone is going to manage this roster and how is he going to shuffle this lineup to make sure everyone gets at-bats. Many people have been expecting a trade that would alleviate the logjam to go down before Opening Day but that hasn't happened yet.
Expectations are high and its been a long time since the Yankees have been to a World Series (as our friends here so kindly remind us). But if the young bats (Volpe, Peraza, Cabrera, Dominguez) can provide the spark and the starting rotation is healthy in October, the Yankees are going to be a real problem in the postseason.
But it all starts today at 1pm EST with vs SF (Cole vs. Webb).
