"Whether we've already played exhibition games at home or not (which the Dodgers did last weekend), you can't replace Opening Day when it matters."
Manager Joe Torre stated that today’s opener will not be as emotional as last year’s, but still special nonetheless. "We've already played games, but it still takes on significant feeling," Torre said. "Last year was the first one for me, and I got pretty jittery. But we'll still have butterflies with all the pomp and circumstance. Having already had games under our belt helps in the playing of the game. We should be pretty comfortable and ready to play."
