Perhaps I'm jumping the gun (and I'm sure I am), but I just wanted to let you know that AJ Burnett has not allowed any singles, doubles, triples or homers. I think you know what I'm talking about it, and there is a baseball superstition that you should not say what this is or you will ruin it. Unfourtenetly, he has given up a walk, so things aren't quite "perfect".

No, unless you mean "perfect", which he can't be, he gave up a walk in the second.

6 innings done! God this is nerve-wrecking, even this early. Kind of cool David Cone is announcing while this is happening http://www.baseball-almanac.com/boxscore/07181999.shtml

Burnett seems to be suprising people this season, alot of people thought that he'd be like Pavano but I guess their wrong so far...

Just DON'T mention it, I did it to Dice-K in game 6 and then crawford got a hit right after the commerial...

Edit: Burnett also had one of these in 2001

Michael Kay is killing me. I mean I normally love this guy as an announcer, but he's mentioend the word like 20 times. He explained how the superstition is wrong, as he anounced what it was during david cones and david wells games that can only be described as perfect. Man if its only that 1 walk to burell, that would be tough (and fantastic haha, I hope that's the case).

HAHA 3 hitter TAMPA FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding :) AJ was awesome. Wang should be sent down to AAA to work on control if he contiunes what happened last night. 11Ks is pretty good and Jeter played well. Swisher is on FIRE now.
