Burnett Gets Cuts Hitting Door — Then Covers It Up

[knicksfan3232]

"Since A.J. Burnett became a Yankee last year, we've seen Good A.J. and Bad A.J.

Yesterday we were introduced to Idiotic A.J.

The erratic Yankees starting pitcher slapped a double door in the Yankees clubhouse in frustration after allowing three runs to the Rays in the first two innings and cut both of his hands on hard plastic lineup-card holders.

Burnett initially lied to the trainers about how his injuries occurred, and pitched to two batters in the third before being removed in the 10-5 loss to the Rays in front of 48,957 at Yankee Stadium on Old-Timers' Day.

The 33-year-old pitcher has had trouble controlling his emotions before, and let the frustration bubble over after giving up a run in the first and a two-run home run to Reid Brignac in the second inning. The cuts are on the palms of both hands.

He told trainer Steve Donohue that he fell while running up stairs. That story got relayed to manager Joe Girardi, who said it during an in-game interview on Fox, and to general manager Brian Cashman, who relayed the story to reporters who contacted him."

This guy could have been great.

I remember when he pitched for the Marlins there were some days when he had the nastiest stuff I had ever seen.
