Yankees, Season on the Brink...Would You Want A.J. Burnett on the Hill?

This is why they call it the post-season. Anything can and does happen . Winning almost 100 games in the regular season. Don't matter ! Three guys with over 110 RBI's. Don't matter ! Potent lineup ...Don't matter ! Pitching wins in the post-season , plain and simple..Averages drop, starting pitcher deficencies are magnified. Well, welcome to the Yankees 2011 post-season!
Down 2-1, due or die..Can A.J. Burnett live up to his potential (not to mention his $16 million annual salary) and get the series back to the Bronx for game 5? Short answer yes!
My prediction..A.J. will have the fastball and nasty slider working , go 7 strong and will surrender 2 runs or less. With expectations way down, all " the enigma " has to do is go out , throw and enjoy himself . So get yourself a cup of black coffee , a prayer book and enjoy!
Lets go Yanks. Lets go Yanks!
