Opening Day Headlines, Real and Imagined

Orioles 10 - Yankees 5. Life is good.

In keeping with
last year's tradition, Roar from 34 offers the post-Opening Day headlines you're not likely to see followed by some real headlines about the game. In the crazy world that is New York baseball, it can be difficult to tell the difference.

[A special thanks to The Sun's Andrew Ratner for his real headline,
Orioles bloggers step up to the plate.]


Some headlines about Monday's game that you're not likely to see:

Like 'The Bachelor,' Teixeira has change of heart, asks shunned O's for a second chance

Steinbrenner feeling philosophical: "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game"

A-Rod to Tex: "I would've come through in the clutch"

Izturis eyes 40-40; Bonds' single-season home run record also in sight

Teixeira channels Utley in response to Boo Birds

A.L. East now a four-team race

Yankee fans anxious about half-game deficit to rained out Red Sox

Angelos: "So we can expect 48,000 for every game?"
