Burnett Rumored Dispelled
I am happy to be able to report that the Yankees’ failure to anoint Juan Miranda with a pie-in-the-face for his walk-off walk at the witching hour Sunday night against the Red Sox owed simply to the fact that A.J. Burnett had left earlier in the day, so that he’d be fully rested for his cameo in Toronto.
The pie was not skipped because it was assumed if Burnett had aimed it at Miranda, he would have missed.

That was a fun game. I stuck it out to the very end via radio. Being from flyover country and waiting to see who my Twins are going play added to the experience. (what that is, I’m still not sure.) Oh well. Moving forward, maybe someone (make that anyone) will step up in the final days of the regular season and decide they want to win it all.
btw, some twins fans have adopted a brand new song, “don’t call us twinkies.” minnesota native, craig finn of the hold steady, sings lead. brilliant. check out the video:

Mean! But funny!
