AJ Burnett vs. Roy Halladay...Predictable

Vintage AJ Burnett tonight. 7.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 BB... yep, sounds about right. Guy must lead the league in these types of starts over the years.

This is why I wasn't too thrilled when the Yankees signed him, he's a medicore pitcher. A mediocre pitcher with tremendous stuff, which makes it even more infuriating.

As for Halladay, the guy is a beast, but the Yankees just rolled over and died for him (as they usually do against Halladay) tonight. Weak effort.

Fantasy notes from the game:

-Alex Rodriguez hit an RBI single, albeit it was a pretty weak hit.
-Johnny Damon continued his hot streak with a 2-4 effort, and looked to be the only Yankee with a pulse tonight.
-Hideki Matsui left the game with a tight right hamstring. Seriously, can we just replace the word injury with some form of "Yankees".
-Aaron Hill continued to rake, hitting a 8th inning HR against Burnett.

Back with more later.
