Welcome to the 2010 season, Yankees

Welcome to the Trop, Yanks.

Please meet the team that's going to give you a run for your money this season. On first, you've got Carlos Pena, on second you'll be greeted by Sean Rodriguez and SS Jason Bartlett when they get you out on a 5-4-3 double play. If you make it to third, gold glove winner Longo will be glad to say hey. And if you dare to send your ball to the outfield, Carl Crawford, B.J Upton and Ben Zobrist will be glad to catch it for you.

Just thought I'd be polite in case you guys weren't familiar with each other.

Last night, the Yankees ventured to Tropicana Field in their first three-game series of the year. New York was no match for David Price and the Rays as Price pitched a pretty much flawless seven and two-thirds innings. Pena greeted pitcher Javier Vazquez with a two-run homer to tie the game and DH Willie Aybar another two-run homer for assurance.

The Rays have put together their best team to date. So watch out Yankee fans, you can't expect sure wins here.
