Spring Training Game 4: Burnett to the hill

We'll see A.J. Burnett for the first time at 1:05 today. Opposing him will be Toronto's Shaun Marcum, who missed all of last year with an elbow injury.

You can see the game on MLBN and MY9, and the live boxscore is here.

Andrew Brackman is set to make an appearance.

 

  • Post game notes -

Consdiering he was using only fastballs and changeups, Burnett did a decent job.

Cervelli getting hit in the head was scary. We should really hope there are no long-term effects, both for his sake and because Mike Rivera would become the BUC.

Brackman got hit hard (1 ip, 3 h, 2 er), but he didn't walk anyone!

Alby continues to impress, lowering his ERA from infinity to 189.00 by allowing only five runs while recording one out.

What’s up with people trying to kill Cervelli in spring training? So not cool. Glad to get a look at Romine, though.

that was scary

what’d they do before helmets?!

by Travis G on Mar 6, 2010 2:14 PM EST up reply actions  

die

seriously, they started using helmets because some players died after getting hit in the head

by Wraithpk on Mar 6, 2010 2:18 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes he does...

That’s what happens when you are mid 30’s, a free agent, and a backup, maybe he will hit
.215 for the Jays. He could handle a game behind the plate, give him his props for that.

Why can't Albaladingdong be more like this J. Alba?

This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

Well...

She not only looks better, at this point, could probably pitch better too. Can you say DFA, before spring training ends, I can.

And good in the clubhouse too

Well, paisan, that is one butt that would improve team morale after a congratulatory spanking.

Hey Balboni...

they’re both pretty awful at this point.

At least Albaladejo can hit

93 with sink so maybe he has a good stretch of appearances that will convince some team to trade for him.

this picture makes me want to kill myself

Dude she's hot

that’s a good thing

yes, but it’s like looking at pictures of lamborghinis. You know you’ll never drive one, and it makes you feel a little disgusted when you see pictures because you want to drive it so badly.

by Wraithpk on Mar 6, 2010 6:38 PM EST up reply actions  

I know this feeling,

but I get it every time I look at Cervelli and curse my own lack of Cervelli-ness.

has anyone seen the picture on Yankees.com?

Molina is helping his ex-catcher mate. nice guy.

Jose can you see

Wadda guy, huh? I will miss Jose. The reason he looks like he lost weight is probably because he flew from Puerto Rico to Toronto before reality set in.

It's all over...

the Yankees have a .250 record, mortality strikes God, Nick Johnson has been prescribed a plastic bubble, Joba is effective only in the 8th inning, and AJ sucks. What else am I missing?

by Scooby Snacks on Mar 6, 2010 5:26 PM EST reply actions  

Granderson still has no hits i believe

making this officially ‘teh worst offseazin in history!!!!!!!!!!!!’

Beacon of Hope

The news of Jennifer Alba and Zach Galifianakis (despite the gastro-intestinal problems) possibly joining the team is a ray of light in this dark, three day period of Yankee legacy.

Hey look-I had a hard enough time trying to find and spell that guy from ’The Hangover"s last name!

Because..

He has a fellow Greek name, the 13-15 letter variety, at least mine is short.

Lol and Behold

You know, the funny thing is I set my laptop next to the oven at the restaurant where I work and run back and forth while I’m cooking to write things on here. I’m standing there after having just finished dinner for a customer when I run over to write that and I’m thinking, “What is that guys name from The Hangover” from yesterdays post." Well, the waiter comes in and tells me a table wants to thank me for their Swordfish al la Siciliana. So I go out and give a little talk and shake hands and then ask them, “What is the guys name from The Hangover?” They looked kind of confused and then the one guy says, “Zach Galfaniskwhatever”. They told me thanks and I said, no, thank you and ran in to look up how to spell it. All this time my prep guy is starring at me and what I’m doing kind of funny and asks, “Why is there a picture of ‘Jessica Alba’ on the screen and why are you looking up ’The Hangover?” I told him don’t worry-has to do with the Yankees-Jays ST game today. (this did not aid the confusion) You ask me how I get away with this as a pro chef? Because I am the Cal Ripkin of the kitchen (error free and steady) not the Honus Wagner!

Well, technically if you were the Honus Wagner of cooking,

you’d be around before the invention of such helpful things as a colander, the George Foreman Grill, and perhaps even a fry daddy (I’m an amateur cook, you understand). Therefore, relative to the competition, you’d be tenfold better.
Sorry, that’s the best I can do in relating the Culinary Arts to baseball.

When Cervelli got hit today,

I heard Sterling say “O my goodness Gracious”….. i thought those 4 words were officially banned from being used in any capacity while on the air during a Yankee game…….. First game on the radio and I’v already had ENOUGH WITH STERLING…
