Burnett’ Electric and Yanks are Even
nybaseballdigest.com 10/30/2009 — A.J. Burnett may have finally put any doubts to rest with his performance last night. Burnett had electric stuff, especially his curveball, and held the fort down just enough for the Yankees bats to get going in the 3-1 win.

A.J. Burnett shuts the critics up, and Pedro Martinez won't shut up
