Watching A.J. Burnett pitch is like watching rhinos fornicate. Not pretty in the least..
The Yanks hand him a 4-0 lead and A.J., sure enough, gives up 3 to the Athletics. The game is in the bottom of the 5th right now and it's almost 2 hours old. Why?
Cause Burnett goes to 3-2 on every batter, he takes 3-minutes between pitches, he can't find the plate with his curveball and then has to lay in a very hittable fastball.
The Yankees can't get him out of the rotation fast enough for my liking.
And the thing with the pies on walkoff wins? It's not funny, it's not amusing and it's just plain stupid. Does anyone think Burnett slapping the hero in the face with whipped cream after a walkoff win is even remotely amusing.
If he was winning 18+ games, maybe it would evoke a smile. But when you are as crappy as Burnett is, lay low and knock it off with the pies. Man this guy ticks me off.
Update: Yanks won 4-3, Burnett got the win and in his post-game comments said, "And tell BR to shove it up his ass!" Well, for one night anyway.
