Any sort of discussion involving the words "AJ Burnett," "ERA," and "splits" has a high probability of being quite entertaining. Or at least amusing.

I'm glad Corey Lidle's plane went down instead of AJ Burnett's.

What an idiotic thing to say.

If AJ Burnett's control of an airplane is anything like his control of his pitches, he couldn't have crashed into a building if he tried.

... but he would inevitably hit one whenever trying to avoid them. Am looking forward to this evening, although the infamous reverse lock thingy lurks in the background.

All he has to do is watch tonight's game and he'll see Jesus.

[jbelushi]

there is not even an australian word for how much i loath these m!@#$%^&kers, i would gladly kick dalrymple in the nuts whilst i was headbutting arod.....aj burnet, says it all burn....et

[RedSoxAnni]

This is not the way this was supposed to go tonight... Looks like we'll see a lot of the bullpen.

[rominer]

I am a big fan of the one out sac bunt by the Yankees.

I hope they do that every time they get a man on base.

[rominer]

I am very disappointed that that HBP didn't shatter Teixeira's kneecap.

What a f**king c**t.

[rominer]

For the record:

BigSlick is an asshole.

[acr]

If Aceves got *half* the strike zone that Soriano did, we'd still be winning. That was bullshit.

If Aceves got the same HBP rule as AJ Burnett did, we'd still be winning.

Too bad Corey Lidle isn't around to fly him somewhere.

[rominer]

You know what, though?

FIRST PLACE!!!!

The Yankees can suck on that. And if first place looks anything like a donkey's penis, then I'm sure the Yankees will suck on it.
