Can anyone tell me what possible situation in a 5 game series would allow Joe Girardi to bring AJ Burnett out of the bullpen? Does anyone really expect to see the need in this series for a guy to put in empty innings in a 14-5 blowout either way? Hard to believe they're carrying that POS on the ALDS roster."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed. I say this in order to impress upon you, if you are not already so impressed, that no small matter should divert us from our great purpose. "

Let me guess... he misses the truck's opening, smashes garbage all over the side of it and then says he thinks he performed well enought o handle nuclear waste transfers before kicking a dog."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Burnett will probably start game 4. He's just as likely to throw a 3-hit shutout as he is to give up 8 runs in 2/3 of an inning."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

well this rain delay certainly wreaked havoc on both teams. Verlander, who's on one of those "hot goalie" streaks, now gets bumped to just one start, OTOH, the Yanks lose their only real ace and now may have to go with Burnett at some point.
Still the Yanks get the edge here not having to face Verlander twice now. Lucky bastages!

CC is lobbying for the Sunday start. I think it'd be pretty boss of him if he could do it and do it well, and then also come back on short rest for the final game.
And I agree with revo in that this is a win for the Yanks in that they only have to face Verlander once. It's also crappy for the fans because seeing Verlander twice against the Yanks was exactly what we all (non-Yankee fans) wanted. Boo rain!

Damn, Girardi just ruled out Sabathia for Sunday. I guess I understand why, but if there's any one pitcher I'd listen to when he says he could do something on short rest, it'd be Sabathia. The big man seems to know his body and arm as well as anyone could.

Robby Cano is a reasonably talented young man. I wasn't sure that one was coming back down...ever."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
