Yank AC-DC Mowing Them Down at Staten Island

Pat Vendite, the world's foremost righty-lefting pitching specialist, is doing something very strange at Single A Staten Island.

He is killing.

Last night, he pitched a one-two-three ninth inning, his sixth save.

This is what he has done thus far in 10 games: 10 2/3 innings... 11 strikeouts... 2 hits... 0 runs.

Nada.

We chalked him off as a novelty. Still not convinced. He's 23, sorta old for the league.

Pitching lefty, he's walked 6 guys -- and nobody's gotten a hit off him yet.

Pitching righty, no walks -- and they're batting .105.

Is he a sign of the apocalypse?

Remember when Connie Mack stared a midget?

This guy will be our act when the Yankees are in 8th place for the
3rd consecutive year.

Jose Tabata will be our .143 hitting first baseman. Austin Jackson will be hitting .348 for the Cardinals and we'll have Al Pujols catching.
