Absolutely sick...

Where was he in 2005?

Where was he in 2005?

he was 12-12.....Where was your boy Vargas? Where was Brian Moehler? Al Leiter?

 

Don't go blaming that season on AJ.

AJ Burnett last 7 starts in 2005:

 

0-6, 38.1 IP, 25 ER, 5.88 ERA

 

Way to carry a team.

About time. . .

Mike Lowell hit .236

 

Jason Vargas lost 4 straight decisions.

 

The offense didn't show up in any of those last six outings scoring only 5 runs once.

And you're point is?

 

I'm not blaming him entirely for what happened the last month of the 2005 season but he deserves some of the blame.

 

LOL at throwing Vargas into this discussion. Dude was a few months removed from AA while Burnett had been in the majors since 1999.

 

BTW, a guy like Burnett shouldn't need 5 runs to win a game.

Glad he decided to "put it together" at the right time of the season

 

F AJ.

Just about every player will have a slump during a season. If you look at the entirety of his '05 season he had a good year... 207 innings / 6.5 inninps per start / .344 ERA / .646 OPS allowed.

He still fell apart when he was needed most.

Oh, AND he took his shots at the team and was set home.

You and AJ need to get a room.

He took shots at a manager who the GM wanted to fire during the season but didn't because the owner overruled him and who in fact got fired, or was asked to retire, if you prefer, a few days after AJ's comments. Should he have done it? No. But I have no problems with anyone who took shots at Jack in '05.

Is he a free agent?

not sure why focus on 2005, especially since AJ was pretty much a bust down here and was not able to delivery on the promise. Yes, he had periods of brilliance, but was a huge disappointment

Maybe the lightbulb finally went on?

 

About time. . .

that bulb must be so old Thomas Edison had it in his lab.........

Another outing....more stellarness
