A.J. Burnett gave up four earned runs in six innings against the Orioles at Yankee stadium today, in a game that New York lost 5-4 in 11 innings. By Burnett’s standards, this wasn’t a terrible outing. But despite not completely bombing today, there were signs that Burnett and his $82.5 million contract have pretty much given up on this season.

Like this moment, in the top of the 3rd inning, when he failed to come close to the bag whilst trying to complete a double play.

In the wake of the New York Yankees’ unceremonious exit from the 2010 MLB playoffs, The Daily News has a poll up on their website that asks Yankee fans a simple question: keep ‘em or dump ‘em?

When Nick Swisher was being interviewed by Kim Jones today after his two run, bottom-of-the-ninth homer, a pie was expected. Unluckily for Jones, a runaway piece of shaving cream hit her square on the noggin.

First it was the Red Sox dealing with horrible injury luck – apparently they’ve now transferred that luck to the rival Yankees after A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte got hurt on back-to-back days.
