One of my favourite songs of all time (the Cure's "Just Like Heaven") for one of the most fun games this season. A blast, and Matty's interview-ettes of X, of Lyle, and of Litsch just before gametime were a real treat. A.J. Burnett came out and completely stifled the Yankees, despite the Jays on several occasions barely giving him the chance to catch his breath between innings. A.J. was masterful,...

Later tonight, when Darrell Rasner faces off against A.J. Burnett (gulp), Hideki Matsui should return to the lineup for the first time in two months. Hideki hasn’t played June 22, and by all accounts, he’ll need knee surgery this year. With Matsui returning, though, I have to wonder how the Yanks plan on using him. On [...]
