Release Him...Now!

How bad a pitcher do you have to be to be staked to an early 13-1 lead but not get the win? Answer: Very bad.
For once you would think A.J. Burnett would have a guaranteed win when he had a 12 run lead against the White Sox tonight. But the Pale Hose chipped away and with one out in the 5th and runners on first and second with the lead whittled to 13-7, Joe Girardi had seen enough and took Burnett out of the game making him ineligible for the win.
Burnett was mad when he left. I don't know if he was angry with Girardi for taking him out or if he was upset with himself. Whatever, the guy flat out stinks. He has a great arm but the pitching acumen of a 7-year old.
Please Brian Cashman, get rid of this guy. Dump him like a bad habit. He's awful, terrible and gives me agita every time I see his face and ugly tattoos. I'd rather see an A-ball pitcher in there than Burnett.
At least the Yanks won the game 18-7. Jeter had 5 hits and scored 4 runs. Not bad for a guy who is finished.
