AJ Burnett Bust

A.J. Burnett has been very, very short of spectacular. He has been a bust thus far and continues to hurt the Yankees. I wonder if he is willing to give up some of that guarantee money he has not come close to earning.

Like Ralph Kramden would put it, “he is a bum.” Burnett has been like a faucet, hot and cold, but more cold than anything else. The Yankees made a bad decision in signing this bum and Yankees fans would love nothing more but to see him out of New York, me included.

Burnett faced the White Sox and gave up 8 earned runs on 8 hits in 3.1 innings pitched. The Yankees lost 9-4. If you need a steal, Burnett is by far the easiest in baseball.

Who wants the bum? No one, and that is what the Yankees will have to live with for three more long years.

The worst part of watching the game last night was listening to Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, this guy is so freaking bias and dumb as a box of rocks. You watch when the other team is beating the White Sox, Hawk gets so quiet.

Hey Joe Girardi! When will you learn how to manage? You are so clueless it’s embarrassing.
