"It is a good day to die..."

(Remarks by Joe Girardi to Yankiverse, before playing Rays)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, assembled media, trainers, coaches, syncopaths, bloggers, fans, whatnots, and spys...

Today, we are going into a foreign city to eradicate those who would do us harm. We will go base to base. We will go field to field. We will go player to player. We will throw at them. We will slide at them. We will run at them. Because this is spring training.

We have no choice. The enemy brought this upon itself. It launched the first strike, and the broken wrist of one of our sons bears witness to their treachery. But today, they will taste the leather of our forearms. Today, they will hear the crack of their bones.

Today, we will make history.

God bless the Yankees.
