The Good
Burnett gave us 5.1 innings of two-run ball. Then every member of the bullpen came into the game to close it out. Nick Swisher continued his wacky bunting antics, which always pleases the crowd. Russell Martin's two-run double was the difference in the game.
The Bad
This game was way too close. Lester threw something like 100 pitches in the first inning, all to Nick Swisher, and the Yanks still only mustered 1 run against him. That's bad.
The Ugly
Al Leiter trying to find a silver lining in the work AJ has done with Larry Rothschild. Let's face it, AJ is a very consistent pitcher in the month of April, then he's a train wreck. But not a regular train wreck. A train wreck that happens right in front of a nuclear reactor but doesn't damage the reactor. Then, suddenly, oh no! A plane is headed right for us! The plane smashes into the train, but doesn't harm the reactor. We're all saved. Then another plane smashes into the reactor and we're all dead. The end.
Two in a Row?
Normally, the Yankees score all their runs on home runs. They've scored exactly zero runs on home runs in the last two games. I'm not sure what to make of this, so I made a paper mache hat. It's awesome!

In the time it took to play that game, I could have rebuilt that reactor. Just saying.
True, but that's every Yankees-Red Sox game of the last 11 years. I remember when people would say it's because Nomar would refit his batting gloves after every pitch, which was stupid. Burnett's pitching IQ stupid.
Oh snap! My response was just another cruelly/cleverly disguised jab at AJ. Slam!
