David Robertson is a Jackass

DUNEDIN, Fla. — The first black cloud of spring training could flood the Yankees’ bullpen.  David Robertson, the best eighth-inning reliever in baseball, underwent four separate tests on his right foot yesterday and the Yankees have their fingers crossed there is nothing seriously wrong with the mid-foot area which is where the dreaded Lisfranc fractures and sprains occur.  However, the reason for additional tests following an X-ray and MRI exam has to be unsettling. “The initial tests he took gave us cause for concern,’’ manager Joe Girardi said of Robertson, who was sent for a CAT-Scan and a weight-bearing X-ray. “All tests will be sent up to [Yankees’ physician] Dr. [Chris] Ahmad [yesterday]. I am not going to speculate on what he has. We are not sure what’s going on. I imagine we will have [results] some time [today]. I was concerned when he went today because I saw him walking out.’’  Robertson, who was supposed to pitch an inning against the Blue Jays yesterday, hurt the foot Wednesday night at his St. Petersburg home when he stumbled down the stairs carrying empty boxes.  When he arrived at George M. Steinbrenner Field yesterday morning Robertson was sent for the X-ray and the MRI exam. When those results didn’t satisfy the medical staff, Robertson was sent back for the other two tests.  Robertson was seen at GMS Field in a boot and using crutches.   Robertson took over the eighth-inning role last year when Rafael Soriano went on the disabled list and never gave it back. He went 4-0 with a 1.08 ERA in 70 games, held hitters to a .170 batting average, fanned 100 in 66 2/3 innings and was a first-time All Star.  Full Story

What the fuck Robertson you clutz.  Dude, the boxes were EMPTY.  What's that about? Not a good start to the season Dave.  He's proved to be a reliable set up man for Mariano Rivera, so it's a big loss if he's out for awhile, but he's still awaiting tests right now.  Yo D-Rob, if you wanna be the guy to replace Mo stop doing dumb chores like moving boxes at home.  Ditch the socks too.

Fortunately, Robertson isn't as big of an assbag as the Rays pitcher David Price, who injured his neck "toweling off too vigourously."
