Today's game was memorable for three reasons.1. Burnett's funk continued into September. If he continues to pitch like this, he should be demoted to the 4 starter in the playoffs.
2. With two home runs, a walk, 3 RBIs and 2 mental lapses, Posada led the Yankees to a come-from behind victory. Just imagine what this guy will be accomplishing in October, when he's actually concentrating! (Cano blew a bubble during his trot around the bases, pictured above. I won't call it a lapse, but it's definitely an indication of the Yankees' approach to these games...relaxed, and just chillin out.)
3. The real heroes of the game were A-Rod, who drove in the tying run in the 7th, and Swisher, who put the game away with a two-run jack. Yankee fans, you can think back to games like this next time you hear someone say that A-Rod doesn't get it done in big spots. Of course, I'm only talking about the regular season...the playoffs are a whole other ballgame, aren't they, Mr. Rod?
