At least Bill Madden is asking the question.

Yes, I'm still obsessing about an April loss. Too bad the $200 million players are not:

"But what was most bewildering about Girardi's explanation about using Soriano when he did was the fact that, obviously, he didn't consider Robertson an eighth-inning man in a non-save situation, and yet, he said, he'd planned to bring in Robertson to close the game out in the ninth had Soriano gotten through the eighth unscathed. All of this, of course, came about because Girardi was hoping to get Rivera a night off - which didn't happen anyway once the Twins tied it up in the eighth and the Yankee manager was in need of a true closer in the ninth.

'There are times you're gonna bring (Soriano) in (in non-save situations)' Girardi said. 'Four-run leads don't seem like a lot in the American League.' "


Four-runs leads don't seem like a lot in the American League.

That's.

Why.

You.

Keep.

Sabathia.

In.

The.

Game.
