Is this the worst jersey foul of all-time? I'm going with yes. There's simply no excuse these two Ricks can have that will justify these jerseys. Unacceptable.

Worst Jersey Foul of All-Time?
I was lamping, enjoying some baseball between the Minnesota Twins and San Francisco Giants on MLB Network, when all of a sudden the camera crew pans away from the field and my TV screen gets hit with this:

AJ Burnett Left Out Of Yankee's Postseason Rotation
Let's all LOL at BJ Burnett. Burnett sucked so bad this year he has been left out of the Yankees rotation in the upcoming series against the Twins. CC Fatthia will start Game 1, Andy Pettitte Game 2 and Phil Hughes Game 3. Giradi didnt announce a Game 4 starter but it is expected CC will start on short days rest. Because of the days off, Pettitte would be ready to pitch on normal rest if there is a Game 5.
Burnett has mostly been disappointing for the Yanks. He is in his second year of a 5 year 82million dollar deal. This year Burnett has gone 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA.
The Twins plan on starting ace Francisco Liriano Game 1; Carl Pavano in Game 2; Brian Duensing in Game 3; and Nick Blackburn in Game 4.

Nationals Trade Matt Capps to Twins For Wilson Ramos
The Washington Nationals decided to sell high on Matt Capps and traded him to the Minnesota Twins for catcher Wilson Ramos and pitcher Joe Testa. Capps has 25 saves with a 2.80 ERA and 1.33 WHIP this season. Capps is not as good as his 2.80 ERA suggest but overall he is an above average reliever that converts saves when called upon (even if he makes everyone a little nervous while doing so). He is expected to become the new closer in Minnesota while Jon Rauch will move to a set-up role. Rauch took over as closer when Joe Nathan was injured before the season and posted solid numbers of 21 saves with a 3.05 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Nationals rookie Drew Storen is expected to become the new closer in Washington and should be picked up in all fantasy leagues.
The catching prospect the Nationals are receiving, Wilson Ramos, has had to deal with injuries in the minors but has the potential to develop into their catcher of the future. The Twins are already set at catcher for next 8 years with one of the best in the game, Joe Mauer, so Ramos was expendable. Ramos is a very solid defensive catcher, throwing out 43% of would-be base stealers, and can swing the bat too. Overall this was a a definite win for the Nubinals as they traded a player they don't even need (and who isn't in their long-term plans) for one of the best catching prospects in the game. Ramos was ranked #58 among all MLB prospects on Baseball America's preseason list. Now the only question is who they will trade Adam Dunn to (and when).
