Anyone know the record for consecutive team "no walk" innings? I could not find it. [8] A walk in the woods? You mean like it was done in The Sopranos? Even with $80+ mil and the post season on the line, that's too drastic. [11] Thanks for the validation. Anyone know the record for consecutive team “no walk” innings? I could not find it.

Bad oversight on my part re: the number of innings pitched without issuing a walk. [9] I can validate the anagram. It's clean. But since Diane is the expert there, I'll let her make the official decision. ... The Burnett thing is becoming comical. Wednesday night in the post-game, Mark Feinsand asked him if he could take anything positive from the outing, and Burnett said, "Yeah, I can go again in five days." To paraphrase the wise philosopher Pizza the Hut, that may be positive for him, but certainly not for us." Thanks all, for the compliments.

The change of scenery will do him good, and his psyche will handle a return when needed, better than his next regular start. Can you imagine the pressure on his next scheduled start. If you think he's petulant now, wait until then. I fear he may go postal. And what about the Yankees pitchers 40 plus consecutive no walk innings? Isn't that something to scream about? What's the record?

Anyone want to take A.J. out for a walk in the woods? You can give him a trail of breadcrumbs to find his way back. Obviously Nova needs to get sent down to work on his grammar or something.

[2] Agreed -- Nova looks like the real deal. Finally, here's an interesting note I just saw on SportsCenter. This is only the third time in history that a team has swept a four-game series without issuing a single walk. It's also the first time in history a team has done that when starting A.J. Burnett in one of the games. Well done, Will.

I think we would all feel more comfortable with him in the rotation rather than Burnnotice, but that's just not going to happen, until, I would suppose, the post season.
