Everyone on the planet knows the Yankees destroyed the great Johan Santana on Sunday afternoon… They scored nine runs off of him in 3+ innings. AJ Burnett was great… in a start he had to be great, after that debacle in Boston.
Before the Yankees beat down the Mets in the final game of the Subway series there was a confrontation between K-Rod and Brian Bruney…
Everyone knows Bruney, for some unknown reason, called out K-Rod for his on the field antics when he closes out games. I don’t care what the man does when he gets a save… I like seeing emotion. Hell I love when Joba pumps his fist, so I wonder why Bruney would call out K-Rod.
K-Rod of course took exception to Bruney and initially said “who is Bruney?”
So I ask, if you don’t know who the guy is, and you don’t care what he says… Why do you act like an idiot in high school kid looking to meet someone in the parking lot?
Here is the video…
Bruney did the right thing… he stood there. He didn’t back down, and he didn’t do the stupid thing… throw a punch, though it would have made the video much better.
Bruney has acknowledged he was wrong, and has apologized… Both players say they have moved on… I’d like to believe that, but ball players tend to have long memories, and the series should be interesting when they get together in Queens.
How do you all think Bruney and K-Rod handled the situation?
Off day today… Nationals come into town tomorrow… Time for the Yankees to get fat.
That’s all for now…
GO YANKEES!




Both teams have played 30 games.
The Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 8-6 with some late inning heroics from Melky Cabrera. Once again when the Yankees needed a big hit Melky came through, with the game tied in the bottom of the eighth. With Robinson Cano on first base, Melky jacked a ball to left field giving the Yankees the lead. Mariano came in to pitch the ninth. He made things interesting with runners on first and third and only one out, but he once again gets out of his mess and picks up his 12th save.
. His ball had good velocity and sink. He will be starting on Tuesday in Boston.
Say What?
