| 21st June, 2009 - 4:53 pm | Palm Beach Post - A.J. Burnett regrets how he left the Marlins in 2005.
After a loss to the Braves in the final week of the season, Burnett ripped into the entire team. "We played scared. We managed scared. We coached scared," he said.
He left the club as a free agent that winter.
"It's depressing around here," Burnett said four years ago. "It's like they expect us to mess up. And when we do, they chew us out. There is no positive, nothing, around here for anybody."
After his comments, the club suspended him for the remainder of the season.
Burnett started for the Yankees against the Marlins on Saturday night.
"I shouldn't have said what I said," Burnett said after losing 2-1 to Florida. "I don't think about the ending. I remember that they gave me my start. ... I was young and I've grown up a lot since then." [READ] |
