Burnett's Last Two Batters
noyoureatowel.net 10/23/2009 — Throw the blame on A.J. Burnett's first inning, Nick Swisher, Joe Girardi, another blown umpire call, Phil Hughes. Hell, you can even blame Pat Sajak and Kate Hudson for not showing up last night. But what does my dad blame when I called him today? A.J. Burnett's 7th inning.

When you assume...
puristbleedspinstripes.com 10/23/2009 — We assumed. We assumed and we started to plan, as though all that was left was tying up some gift ribbons and signing the greeting card. We forgot, in the process, that the Yankees still had to win the game. They had to win the game, in Anaheim, against the best Angels pitcher. Even on paper it ...
CAN THE YANKS WIN THE WORLD SERIES WITHOUT PHIL HUGHES?
majorleagueblogging.com 10/29/2009 — The answer: Probably not.

The One That Got Away
fackyouk.blogspot.com 10/23/2009 — It came down to a 3-2 count with the bases loaded in a one run game. For different reasons at various points throughout, it didn't seem like it would end up quite that close. But it did, and that made the outcome all the more excruciating.

NY Post: Sports 10/23/2009
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A.J. Burnett placed the Yankees in a cavernous crater early. The trench Phil Hughes dug late wasn't as deep, but together the right-handed ditch diggers cost their team a chance to punch a World Series ticket.

Bombers Burn-ed in seventh —
NY Post: Sports 10/23/2009
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Forget A.J. Burnett's disastrous first inning last night. The fact he couldn't get anybody out in the seventh hurt the Yankees exponentially more. The right-hander had everything he could have wanted. The Yanks had just scored six...
