Stop the pies from Burnett, not funny and could hurt someone-caller

Caller to WFAN's Steve Somers said he has a big problem with the AJ Burnett pie business. First, it's not funny, and second it could harm or scratch a player's eye (even if it's whipped cream). It's not worth taking any risk with players. Somers agrees.

• I notice Burnett took extra time to smear it around Teixeira's face, and some was in his eyes. It may have been funny the first time, but it's terrible now. It has nothing to do with fun and team spirit, especially as the guy hogging the glory camera most times (Burnett) isn't an everyday player. And is still a new member of the team with a reputation as a head case.

• It also takes away from the fan experience watching the post game interview and probably ruins it for the player being interviewed.

Somers also said he thought Burnett did not do a great job Friday night with his 5 walks and 2 hit batters in 6 innings in spite of what others have said. photo, Yankees stretching in Minnesota today, ap.
