2 Number 1's

There's another "first time since the Jordan Era" for the Bulls. They're in first place at the same time as the Yankees! The Bulls blew out the Timberwolves last night to bounce back from their loss to the 76ers. The game was one of Boozer's best with 24 pts and 14 rebs. Rose had 23 pts and 10 asts. It was important or Boozer to have a big game as the playoffs get closer. With all the injuries, he hasn't had the same numbers as the previous years. The Bulls also always seem to bounce back from a previous loss. I can't remember when the last time they lost 2 in a row... and they have yet to lose 3 in a row this year!

OK... so the Yankees are 1-0 after the season opener, but it's still first place as the rest of the division was idle! CC Sabathia was OK in the start, going 6 innings and giving up 3 runs. He wasn't invincible, but 3 runs is certainly acceptable. We got a preview of the typical bullpen work too. Joba came in for the 7th, Soriano for the 8th and Rivera shutdown the 9th. With a bullpen like that, all the starter has to do is last 6... reminds of the days of Quantrill, Gordona and Rivera! Granderson hit the game winning homerun in the 7th.
