Yankees 8, Indians 0

This will cure what ails you.

AJ Burnett started tonight and allowed zero runs. He was relieved by Joba Chamberlain in the 7th, who allowed zero runs. Sergio Mitre came in for the 8th and 9th and allowed.....wait for it.....zero runs.

The game was basically over after the 3rd inning, as the Yankees led 7-0 at that point, and after the bottom of the 4th, just about nothing happened, period.

A-Rod didn't hit a home run, but he did hit a double in the 6th and grabbed the base out of the ground and held onto it as he slid (see the picture). I've never seen that before. If you run to third base while holding second base, what happens?

Play Of The Game: Tex's 2nd inning, bases loaded single put the Yankees chances of winning at about 85%, which tells you exactly what kind of game it was.

Quote Of The Game: Another tie. This one was delayed about 45 minutes by rain, so Kevin L asked:

rain? or did Cervelli have to go?

RickettyCricket knew the answer:

He was pondering the task of catching AJ tonight, and the Earth cried for Him

Eh, they're starting high, they probably don't actually think they'll get that but worth a shot.

That said.

I agree with you AND you’re going crazy from the Mets game.

Scott Downs is worth .1 more WAR than Joba Chamberlain this year

he is also 10 years older, way more expensive, not under contract for nearly as long

Downs is a LOOGY, and a good one, but we have Marte and Logan

He is also not a sure thing top 5 prospect at one of the most premium positions. Relievers are a dime a dozen, Robertson for example was a 17th round pick.

Good AJ

we like it. A-Rod was funny on that double, holding the bag with a sheepish grin, lol!

Good QOTGs, but...

… to be really picky, technically it wasn’t the Earth crying for Cervelli, it was the Sky. When the Earth cries, we call that a spring. Like Poland Springs water, yanno?
