Been Away, But Ready For Baseball

Been away from the laptop most of the weekend, so I missed some things, but thanks to the good people at the LoHud Yankees Blog, and Yahoo Sports here are some things to get us all caught up.

--Here is the pitching rotation for the Toronto series

Monday: RHP Roy Halladay (16-7, 3.71) vs. RHP Chien-Ming Wang (19-7, 3.70), 1:05, YES, ESPN
Wednesday: RHP A.J. Burnett (10-8, 3.75) vs. RHP Mike Mussina (11-10, 5.15), 7:05, YES, ESPN2

--The 2008 Roster is set.

--Phil Hughes pitched well in his final spring tuneup against the Marlins this evening in Miami.

--Nice piece by Tyler Kepner of the New York Times, on the nuances of the old Yankee Stadium, and little bit about what some of the features of the new ballpark.

--Andy Pettitte threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session and reported no problems. He will start the season on the DL, and will come off in time to make his start against Tampa on Saturday.

--The Red Sox and the Dodgers are playing at the LA Coliseum tonight. It's 200 feet to the wall in left field, I heard that the wall in Williamsport, Pa., for the Little League World Series, is 212.

--Here is what appears to be the SWB Yankees roster at Triple-A.

--This AP story has a look at the key dates for the 2008 season.
