Cashman: No Robertson for Red Sox weekend
ByWhile Yankee fans would love to have David Robertson ready to go for the 7th inning against the Red Sox this weekend, the Yankees, with their eyes on an October prize, say their key middle reliever will not be back until next week. Mike Puma of The Post spoke with Brian Cashman after Robertson threw off the mound yesterday, and the Yanks’ GM said that the plan is to have Robertson throw another mound session on Saturday and get him into games against Kansas City and Tampa. According to Puma, barring a “physical setback,” Robertson will be ready to go for the ALDS. “If he’s healthy, he is one of our better guys,” Cashman said. Indeed.

Damn, I was hoping to see him. Oh well; it’s better to get him rested up for the playoffs.
Agreed. Once he’s healthy, he’s just another weapon in Girardi’s arsenal.
word, better safe than sorry.

homer: I think this homemade prozac needs more ice cream
I can’t wait for Robertson to come back. Among pitchers with at least 40IP he is second in K/9 (with a 13.39) to only Jonathon Broxton (with a 13.50).
First in the AL, and that’s fuckin awesome.
Best reliever nobody’s (outside of nyc) heard of?
I think so.
At least according to Yankee fans.
Which isn’t to say that’s not true. His K rate is stellar. He just has to get those walks under control.

My dad still doesn’t know who Joakim Soria is.

That reminds me. My cousin who lives in NY and is apparently a Yanks fan (though not a big baseball fan in general so he doesnt watch many, if any, games at all) didn’t know who A-rod was when I talked to him last summer.
i call shenanigans on that one.
That’s literally impossible.
no, really. But like I said, he doesnt watch the Yanks a lot.
A-Rod is a cultural phenomenon. His name and reputation, for better or worse, reach outside of just baseball. Unless your cousin lives in a hole in the ground, how could he not know A-Rod?
No, It’s possible not to know him. A few years back, I only followed the Yankees, watched their games and not religiously like now, I didn’t know who a-rod was when they traded for him. Didn’t follow pop culture. I was (and am) a skateboarder and non of that interested me, but the yanks. my grandma instilled the yanks in me, never cared about the rest of baseball.
No way. A-Rod is a household name/very lucrative business empire… just ask him.
