A.. J.. fucking Burnett! Hell yeah baby. i<3u
In all seriousness though.. That was a very impressing outing. I really was impressed with how he was able to handle last nights game. When the bases were loaded in the first and we already had somebody up in the pen.. I was worried. I will admit it; I was worried. But he actually pitched out of that jam (thanks to Grandy) and then was able pitch a very good ball game. He was hitting his spots.. breaking ball looked good.. Loved it.
At the time I didn't agree with Girardi's move but now that I think about it I actually am very happy he made that move to go to Soriano. He didn't want to even risk the possibility of AJ imploding and in doing so; Soriano was able to come in and finish it off. (thanks to Grandy, AGAIN)
Granderson really played a huge role in the win last night.. I don't think it's crazy to say that his play very well could have saved our season. Very impressive night for the Grandy man.
Some other good things I was able to see from this game was that even though A-rod and Tex didn't hit bombs.. They were getting the bat on the ball and starting to look like they may come around. A-rod's bat speed was picking up and they were putting the ball into play. Things are looking really good.
Oh, did I mention Jesus Montero is a bad ass? Well, he is.
Bullpen will be ready to go tomorrow night .. Nova will hopefully be able to spin another gem. Feeling good about this game.
