***SIX IN A ROW***
AJ Burnett pitched five terrific innings...unfortunately, Girardi sent him out there for the sixth. You could see he was losing it, but Girardi stayed planted in his seat. Finally, and perhaps predictably, AJ gave up the 2-run homer to BJ Upton. After the game Girardi defended his decision by saying, "Upton was his man. That was his out to get." It was? Why? Was that in Burnett's contract? ["Um, anytime you pitch, you have to get BJ Upton out."]
Eduardo Nunez showed again that the guy can field and he can certainly hit, and if Manute Bol is playing first, he can also throw.
The Yanks scored enough runs to win last night, even though A-Rod struck out three times. Not that bad, considering he struck out four times in batting practice.
The Posada thing will not go away. In various stories on ESPN today, I found out that:
1) Jorge was wrong
2) Jorge was right
3) Jeter was right in doing nothing
4) Jeter should have said something
5) Cashman was too harsh
6) Cashman should have suspended Jorge
7) ...Well, are you getting the idea?
Jorge can make this all go away by getting a couple of hits tonight.
The Yanks signed two relievers this winter and now both of them are on the DL.
***FROM BRAD DICKSON***
"At the Bangkok airport, a man was caught trying to smuggle two panthers, two leopards, a marmoset, a monkey and a black bear in his luggage. And the only reason airport security caught him is because the monkey had nail clippers."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff. Or, he might've said that he bothered to take a hot bath. I'm not sure which."
I know, the baseball stuff is funnier, but it looks made up.
