AJ is healthy, he holds the the offenses to 3 or 4 runs over 7 innings and more often than not the yankees win. he may not, but they do. it's fine. it's all good for us as yankee fans. they been winning nearly 100 games a season for years now and we are stoked. imagine being a pirates or a cubs fan. we have nothing to complain about. when AJ pitches i root for him. when he fails i get as bummed at him as i do everyone else. go yankees!!!!! burnett is pretty mediocre, and i don’t mind. money is given out like candy these days in all aspects of our society. how can you all care what he makes?…..he ain’t worth it. no one’s worth it.

I guess you were using it as a footnote. [3] He's the Melancholy Shortstop, so naturally he thrives in the Home of the Blues. I was disappointed that you missed him sadly tripling into the night.

Wow, I never thought I was watching a 600 homer guy there. YES showed his first homer, he was a tall skinny guy with a more awkward swing. Not the beefy power machine of today. Thome has no steroid taint on him even though he underwent extreme physical change. Part of me is very relieved that there's no steroid controversy surrounding the man, but I also think it should not be part of the story written about the event. He's a guy that used extensive muscle mass growth to become a legendary slugger. The only difference I see between McGwire, Sosa and Bonds is that I don't exactly know where Thome's muscles came from, and in that ignorance, give him the benefit of the doubt about its legality.

It all came together to make him feel good about himself. Nice the team coddles an $80+M professional. I know Cashman said to blame him for the contract, and don't use it to judge AJ, but really. That double play started by Cano in the 5th saved A Burnt Jet from crashing and burning some more. You are spot on that this game was custom built for an AJ psyche polish.

At least after losing to Boston this time they didn't go into a 10-game funk like the last few times. And back to having the same record as the Red Sox.
