In the year of the Walk-Off, why not add Juan Miranda to the mix?

In an utterly insignificant game, Yankee fans could still enjoy a good outing from Burnett and the fifteenth walk-off win of the year–against the immortal Kyle Farnsworth.

To put the Yankees’ walk off wins in perspective, in the entirety of the 2009 season, the Yankees had exactly one homestand–just one in an eighty-two home game season–in which they did not walk off. That’s pretty incredible.

The game ultimately played out like a spring-training game, with the latter innings including such things as Robinson Canó playing first base, but with everything clinched that it is possible to clinch before October, the Yankees had that luxury.

The one concern would be Phil Coke’s poor fielding. He didn’t even pitch all that poorly–but was instead inefficient at fielding his position, making an errant throw to 2nd on one play and then throwing to first despite there being an out at home, instead.

At any rate, the Yankees go for the sweep of Kansas City–and the homestand–tomorrow.

    I think the real exciting part of this win was the fact that it was against Kyle Farnsworth and fair or not he just did not perform that well for us and it was good to see the other side of it today!
