Before the series started, I thought this was going to be a 6 game series, Yankees on top. But that was before the Yanks won the first two games, and led through 6 yesterday.

Here’s to you, Mr. Robertson

Dave Robertson comes on to pitch the bottom of the 11th and gets the first two Angels batters. Girardi, however, takes him out at that point to bring in Alfredo Aceves to face Howie Kendrick. I would think that in an extra inning game, with your pitcher having to bat, you’d want to [...]
