Andy looked pretty good most of the game. The offense seemed to take the day off.

I think Robertson is going to be more than fine. Just know that he isn't going to be Mariano and you will be ok with him. Is he going to blow 2 out of 10 saves? Probably. Its something new for yankee fans, but welcome to what its like to be a fan of any other team. Insecurity at closer is just something that you have to get used too.

What you miss is ,
a) A Phil Hughes that can get somebody out who already has 2 strikes on them, and
b) a Yankee bat that can actually get a hit with the bases loaded!

I agree with A and B

I disagree about Mo however...I think Girardi would've put him in to keep it at 8-8, especially the way the bats were swinging against Angel pitching

at least mostly swinging :(

C'mon Mike, you know better than that.
There's no way Joe Girardi is using his closer on the road, in a tie game, in May.
If he was going to do that, Soriano would've seen the hill last night.

Nothing like interleague play to get everybody back on track. Also interesting to see that 'poll' with Swisher and A-Rod as most disliked players, considering how often you hear about other players being a 'cancer' in the lockerroom.

The story came out here - http://tracking.si.com/2012/06/13/al...lb-hated-joba/

Not much of a sample size. I'm not even sure what the point of the poll was.

Injuries are never good, but at the very least it happened before the trading deadline, and now you can go get Matt Garza.

Awfully grim outlook to have considering they have the best record in baseball. :sh
The Yanks don't need dominant starting pitching to win.
They just need their starters to keep them in the game until they can get into the other team's pen. :2





I don't think we will need him.
CC is only missing 2 starts and was shut down as a precaution.
Honestly, as it stands now, I don't think anyone in the East will catch them.
Tampa will probably make a run, but they don't have the sticks to keep up.
Toronto is decimated with injuries, and Baltimore just isn't ready yet.
Boston still has a long way to go, I think trading Youk is the beginning of a complete overhaul, I think they will be sellers.

I wouldn't rule Boston out. They are going to get Ellsbury back in about a month, Crawford in a couple weeks. If A. Gonz can get going they are going to have a scary lineup.
