Yanks take Subway Series

The Yankees wrapped up the Yankee Stadium portion of the Subway Series with a nice tidy 15-0 blowout. A.J. Burnett got the start and really needed this one going 7 shutout innings with 4 hits, 4 walks and 8 strikeouts. There really is no point in going all through this game but there are a few things to talk about and also some facts and figures. I want to talk about Francisco Cervelli, what a great job he has been doing. He calls a great game and is excellent defensively but he also had 3 hits and has been a pleasant suprise offensively. I odn't want to start anything yet but there seems to be a big difference when Posada or Cervelli catches. A.J. Burnett may have pitched his best game of the year with Cervelli, we know CC has been pitching well with Cervelli. If anything Cervelli has made sure he isn't going anywhere and will be the backup next year and I have a feeling we will see more of Jorge Posada as the DH. This was the largest shutout for the Yankees since Sept 25, 1977 against Toronto. The Yankees have won 14 of their last 19 at home. This was A.J. Burnetts longest scoreless outing since last June 28th, hopefully this will turn it around last year, he did have a huge second half last year. Hideki Matsui has hit 10 of his 16 homeruns against lefties. This was the largest margin ever in a Subway series game. Johan Santana allowed more runs then he ever has before go figure since they couldn't hit Nieve yesterday who is a no name. I am sure you all saw the before game incident with K-rod and Bruney. It appears to be over as Bruney said it is over and there is nothing else to say and K-rod wouldn't comment. K-rod approached him and was really going at him before Pelfrey and Jose Veras came in to push him away. Now we know why Veras is on the team. I really thought this whole thing was dumb and am glad it is over, Bruney just needs to come back stay healthy and help solidify the bullpen.
