(Yankees) Opening Day Wrap

Unfortunately, I could not watch the game since ESPN wasn't showing it and I don't have MLB.TV yet. Not to mention, I'm not sure if I would have been able to watch it even if I had the means; I'm still not over the initial cancellation decision. Yet of course it was a good game: Wang and Halladay dueled, Melky showed some heroics, and the Jays got to see the one-two punch of Joba and Mo. Summarized in the first box of the season:
