Yankee Bits...

from one of my favorite blogs (which I'm glad to have an excuse to start reading again...it was a long winter):

1. Carl Pavano pitched two innings yesterday. Quick, trade him.
2. Mariano mows ‘em down
   The great Mariano Rivera made his spring debut just now. Here is how it went:
   
   Brent Cleven: Struck out swinging on a 1-2 cutter.
   
   Brandon Inge: Struck out swinging on a 3-2 cutter.
   
   Sean Casey: Grounded to first on the first pitch.
   
   Mo tossed 13 pitches, nine for strikes. Thanks for coming, drive home safely.

ahhh, Peter...good to have you back.
