The Yankees are good but they won’t win it all.

It could have been worse. He could have been trimming the hedges.

Hey maybe they can get Bobby Abreu?

I read he wants to pitch? Lol!

Since he pushes off with the right foot, very important that its completely healed before coming back. Otherwise, domino effect of changing motion, injuring arm. Don’t let him come back until June 1st!

You’re not a terrible man, you’re an idiot. Brian Cashman is male, why on earth would he need an abortion? Furthermore, Neathway is a AA shortstop, not a relief pitcher.

Plumbing maintenance would have been better.

Poor Brian Cashman. Guy probably spent a few grand on an abortion when he could have just told Louise Neathway to help the bullpen move.

/I’m a terrible man.

AAA is loaded with arms, and the Yankees already have 2 of the best closers in baseball. This is not good news, but if the Yankees had to see an injury somewhere, this is a pretty good place for it to hit them.

But how will this affect Jeter’s batting average? Wally Matthews wants to know!

And in his mentoring sessions, perhaps he could recommend a good moving company.

Something doesn’t sound right about the extent of his injuries vis-à-vis the means that caused them. It either was a very short flight of stairs, or he didn’t fall very far, otherwise he would have a lot more damage to report. Don’t you think?

A Brian Hoch, MLB article quotes Joe Girardi quoting Robertson saying “that he had missed a step and stumbled”, which sounds a whole lot more plausible then falling down a flight of stairs.

Hmm… I remember a similar story (All it’s missing is the San Diego wildfire) where Joel Zumaya fell down stairs moving boxes…

Dear MLB guys, you get paid enough to pay others to move your boxes…

This just adds Hughes to pen, and Garcia is the 5th starter. This solves the problem in the starting rotation.

Noting to be overly concerned about as the Yankees are balls deep in the pen. They could even use Hughes for a brief stint in the seventh or eighth inning.

I love how Soriano is mentioned once in this article. He is so overpaid.

Although Robertson is a stud, and I’d take him over any closer in baseball, other than Mo, the Yankees have the depth to swallow this brief (hopefully) setback.
