Today we pick right back up where we left off last season; playing the Tampa Bay Rays. For those of you who don’t believe early season matchups matter over the long haul, I’ll remind you that when it comes to the 2009 AL East three teams are fighting for what will likely be two playoff spots. The difference between October baseball and some late season tee times could likely come down to only a handful of games. That handful starts today.
With that in mind, our first “in season” poll question asks “who will draw first blood in the AL East”?
As always, the poll can be found in the left hand sidebar. Votes will be tallied tomorrow.
