Unreal, he got three great pitches to hit in that AB.
-
I get the feeling this inning will probably come down to A-Rod.
-
Blackburn getting squeezed.
-
Johnny Damon is killing this team though. He looks lost at the plate, and a better left fielder catches that ball. Damon struggles out there on routine fly balls, so it's tough to expect him to catch one like that. EDIT: Chance to make up for it now, though. The last two batters have had good swings against Blackburn.

NO, he looks great! He has been very shaky since the second out of the fourth. For what it's worth, Damon should have caught that ball.
-
Yet his wildness continues. I wouldn't be stunned if they went to Marte or Coke to face Mauer and Kubel the next time they bat. So Burnett might only be in this game for five more batters.

Having watched Burnett all year, I'm not confident he's going to be able to keep the Twins scoreless for the next two innings. His command has seemed to abandon him.
-
I know you guys have taken this "super-negative, Twins suck, there is no way they can win", attitude, but the Yankees haven't gotten very few good swings tonight. They might break out, but there is no sign of it.
-
I'm very surprised at how bad Kubel has looked tonight.
-
Really? He looked OK against Span, but he fell behind Punto (Unreal) 2-0, before just throwing two down the middle, and then hanging a slider which fooled Punto. He wasn't even really close to Cabrera. This is the same Burnett from the 4th inning.
-
True, but it's not like A-Rod put a good swing on the ball. For whatever reason, they haven't really had good swings against Blackburn.
-
All of a sudden AJ has no idea where his fastball is going.
-
Damon has been bad for the last month. The Yankees look lost at the plate against Blackburn, which is very disappointing, especially because Blackburn cannot be any swings and misses. They have hit one ball well the entire game. Now AJ has to face 9-1-2 here, instead of the bottom of the order, because of his command problems.
-
Damon has not looked for awhile.
-
What an awful play by Gomez. I realize that Young probably slowed down, and I don't want to exonerate him, but everyone does. Once Gomez realized he was caught, for him just to give himself up is pretty ridiculous.
-
Yes!! Great play by Swisher.
-
There goes AJ's fastball command. That pitch was supposed to be away. Two awful hitters (Young is awful vs. RHP) given free bases. Classic AJ.
-
And Blackburn continues to throw the ball pretty well. Hopefully the second and third times through the order the Yankees will be able to get to him.
-
Oh man, I know how you feel. The Yankees have a guy like that. Damn that A-Rod fella.
-
The inability of this staff so far to throw strikes to Nick Punto is unreal. Sabathia, Rivera, and now Burnett. EDIT: I honestly thought they nipped him at first, and now it's the different between facing Mauer and not facing Mauer.
-
Blackburn looks sharp so far, really staying on the corners. Burnett looks good also.
-
I'm absolutely stunned that the Yankees were given the prime time slot of Sunday, instead of the Red Sox. Good news for me though, because now there is no conflict between the Yankees' and the Giants.
-
People are never going to see this, Dipre. I've pretty much given up the argument.
