Yankees-Pirates, bottom of second

I wouldn't have bet a quarter on today's game being played when I woke up. But the skies have cleared, the sun is out and there's a sellout crowd on hand getting psyched for the regular season.
LaRoche struck out, but Xavier Nady has enlivened the crowd with a double over right fielder Jason Lane's head. That is only Nady's seventh hit in 40 at-bats all spring.
Jose Bautista's line drive into the Pirates dugout could have caused serious damage, but his teammates ducked in time.
Did anyone ever write a song called "Don't let your babies grow up to be Yankees fans?"
Bautista puts the Pirates on the board with a line-drive double to left. He is now hitting .200 for the spring.
Luis Rivas lined a single to right, but Lane made a great throw to home and catcher Chad Moeller tagged out Bautista to limit the inning to one run.
Love 'em or hate 'em, the Yankees can play the game.
