Burnett Bombed....Again

With AJ Burnett you know you're going to get either Good AJ or Bad AJ. I guess good AJ must be on summer vacation or something, because it's been all Bad AJ all the time in the month of June. Take a look at his last five games:

DATE	OPP	RESULT	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	GB	FB	PIT	BF	GSc	DEC	REL	ERA*
Jun 26	@LAD	L 9-4	3.0	6	6	6	0	6	5	3	1	79	20	22	L(6-7)	-	5.25
Jun 21	@ARI	L 10-4	4.0	9	7	7	3	2	4	6	11	91	23	18	L(6-6)	-	4.83
Jun 16	PHI	L 6-3	3.1	6	6	6	2	4	3	4	9	87	21	23	L(6-5)	-	4.33
Jun 10	@BAL	L 4-3	6.2	8	4	4	1	1	5	9	14	95	31	46	L(6-4)	-	3.86
Jun 4	@TOR	L 6-1	6.0	6	6	6	3	4	2	9	12	103	27	34	L(6-3)	-	3.72

He might have better luck throwing the ball left handed...with a blind fold on. At least Javier Vazquez seems to have pulled himself together a little with a 3-1 record and a 3.00 ERA in June. Unfortunately for him, his ERA started at 12 so even a month with a 3.00 ERA only brings it down to a still horrible 5.16. John and i have had the conversation about not even trusting AJ to pitch in the playoffs at this point. So the Yanks are paying a long reliever $16.5 million. And not even a good long reliever, right now I wouldn't even trust AJ with a lead.
