AN OPEN LETTER TO AJ BURNETT

A very close friend of mine and BYB Contributor "Mikey Blue" wrote this to AJ Burnett on the heels of tonight's game:

Dear AJ,

Here's what I would say to you tonight. I hope you see it before tonight's game.

Dude, you have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain! No one expects you to do anything tonight, so just let it go! 6 innings + 2 runs = Yanks are right back in this series and you are back in Yankee fans good graces...it is that simple! You need to suck it up and stop sulking...You are a Yankee, act like one! Throw a 1st pitch strike on EVERY batter and I don't care if the first two are hit it out of the park...It's the recipe for success against this team. And do me a favor? Get emotional man -- pump your fists, yell out loud, have fun and feed off the energy of the fans -- we are rooting for you, not against you! Tonight's the night AJ, earn your pinstripes.

Good Luck,

"Mikey Blue"
