This was in reference to Burnett. Then Gom made a comment about the Red Sox, and people starting talking like the Mets were a different team when they faced the Red Sox. Offensively, the Mets were the same then that they were the first time they faced the Yanks (when Burnett started).
As for Burnett, he hasn't done it against the greatest offensive teams, but he has been good lately. He's been excellent since his start against the Red Sox, and, before that, he totaled 12 IP and 3 ER against the Rangers in two starts.
