Barry Zito Opening Quotations

I'm so excited. Man, it's going to be awesome. Last year's Opening Day was a day game in Baltimore, and it didn't really have the sort of atmosphere this year will have. We'll be at home, it's the Yankees and Randy Johnson -- that's just perfect. It couldn't be any better.

It's pretty cool going into camp knowing exactly what the staff is going to look like on Opening Day. A lot of years, you've got a spot or two in the rotation open, and maybe another two or three spots in the 'pen. So there's definitely some comfort there. Everybody can just focus on what they need to do to get ready.

It's going to be nuts in there. I mean, opening night at home is cool as it is, but that it's against what some people are saying is going to be the best team in baseball definitely makes it more exciting.
