I don't think you'll see it. Robertson is a good pitcher with more than enough stuff to get the job done in that situation. He couldn't locate which got in him the initial trouble last night and then Matt Joyce went Kirk Gibson in the '88 world series on him and yanked one over the right field wall.

I think Jake is onto something.
Rivera only has one more year at best and there's no guarantee he'll be worth it if/when he does come back.
It's the Skankees, they are likely already closer shopping. They are probably pissed that Coco Cordero and Sergio Santos are both on the Blue Jays.
The AL East is eminently winnable - a strong bullpen could do it.

I think they only people pissed that Coco is a Blue Jay are Blue Jay fans.
I don't miss that fat bastard a bit.

They're the Yankees. They'll trade Dewayne Wise and some Polaroid nudez of Nick Swisher's wife for Craig Kimbrel.

good pitching matchup tonight in David Price vs. Sabathia. Pitchers not dominating so far through almost 1 inning.

I thought Ichiro would be a Mariner for his entire career.
Well, bigger market for him.

You know, New York had to replace Jeremy Lin somehow (w/ another Asian)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
On this day in sports history in....
1939 - Lou Gehrig retired from major league baseball.
The text of the speech:
"Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.
Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky.
When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that's something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know.
So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for."
Gehrig died less than two years later, on June 2, 1941, at age 37.
