Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training tomorrow is the equivalent to Christmas Eve for MLB fans.
twitter – #yankees
As that can only mean one thing, baseball is back.
It comes as no surprise that Yankee Universe has bombarded twitter in anticipation of the upcoming 2013 MLB season.
New York fans, bloggers, players and media are predicating everything from the Yankees winning #28 to Father Time
So I ransacked twitter during the Grammy Awards, which seemed longer then a typical Red Sox vs. Yankees game, and came up with an array of Bronx Bombers tweets to share.

Yankees, Tigers, Reds, and Giants should win their divisions. I think the Rangers/Angels both make it, not sure of AL West winner/WC.

I cannot believe professionals are writing off a team with Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter, Ichiro Suzuki, Kevin Youkilis, C.C. Sabathia and Mariano Rivera. Any team that picked up three of those guys in free agency would be considered a legitimate contender no matter bad the rest of the club was.
