Team AJ!!!!

Fact: CC Sabathia shouldn't have pitched yesterday's game.  We all criticize  the choices that Girardi Makes, but when we first talked to Girardi after Game 1 was cancelled, he said, He didn't want to put CC up Monday night, He was going to put AJ up.  Somewhere between there and Sunday night, that all changed.  He went with CC for game 3, maybe because people wanted to see the Aces battle it out, maybe because CC wanted to pitch, we won't know why he changed he mind.  People wanted to see a battle of the Aces and that is not what we got at all.  With the help of the home plate umpire Verlander dominated the Yankees last night, or did he?! I didn't think he was all that, I think that we wasted quite a few opportunities in which we could've scored some runs.

Another thing I noticed last night, Soriano came in for CC, and did an excellent job closing that inning, then the game was tied, and then Soriano came back out, and we all know the rest.  This year we have some strong people in the bullpen, why are we not  bringing them out, had that run not scored, the game could've gone completely different, but it didn't ....

 We all know what our weakness are.  I was quite upset when after the game I looked at my news feed and my timeline and saw nothing but fair weather fans, talking about how we are done, because AJ is pitching today.  Wanna know something?!? It isn't just AJ's responsability to bring this series back to the Bronx, he is NOT the only guy in the roster, EVERYONE needs to step it up, from Burnett, to Mr. Pop 'em up Tex, to Girardi, hell even to Derek Jeter who left quite a few runners stranded last night. 

     Trust me AJ Burnett knows what we are thinking, he knows how many Yankees fans have mixed feelings about him, but it is important that he gets the support that he needs, from fans and from his team.  Yankees gotta score some runs early, they gotta play this game for what it is A MUST WIN.  I have high hopes for AJ and the Yankees, they have always stepped it up when they need to, Did I want them to be in this position? No, but is it what they needed to pressure them into performing their best? Maybe!

 I believe in AJ Burnett, and he believes in himself too, on an interview he said: "I've been proving people wrong my whole career.  People are entitled to their opinion.  Obviously I give them reasons here and there to doubt.  The bottom line is, I have confidence in myself"

I believe this series will return to the Bronx.  I believe that the power clutch hitters will shine tonight.... I am excited and looking foward to tonight's game, and in case you still got your doubts, allow me to take you on a trip down memory lane, remember Game 3 of the 2009 World Series, that is the AJ that will show up today... Trust me :)

      Just remember to be a true fan no matter what, and to support your team :)

That last pic of Jeter, has nothing to do with this post, it is only for eye candy purposes :)
LET'S GO YANKEES!!! TEAM AJ!!!
