This is what the supposedly unstable bridge to Mariano Rivera has done. All statistics are courtesy of the wonderful folks over at <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/">Baseball-Reference</a>.<br /><br />David Robertson - 11.3 IP, 0.97 WHIP, 1.59 ERA, 14 K. Hopefully he gets to see some more action as he has an absolutely electric arm.<br /><br />Edwar Ramirez - 20.1 IP, 9ER, 0.88 WHIP, 28K. If he continues to pitch this well, maybe he can get a raise to finally afford the missing consonant on the end of his name. /lame joke.<br /><br />Kyle Farnsworth - 16.2 IP, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">3 ER</span>, 0.90 WHIP, has thrown 9 consecutive <span style="font-style: italic;">hitless </span>innings. Perhaps we should just give Girardi the manager of the year award now for all the usefulness he has been able to squeeze out of Farnsworth's suckitude.<br /><br />Jose Veras - 21.2 IP, 6 ER, 1.31 WHIP, 22 K<br /><br />Remember all this talk? "MOTHER OF GOD, JOBA HAS TO STAY IN THE PEN!!!! HOW ELSE ARE WE GOING TO GET TO MARIANO RIVERA!??! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"<br /><br />Where is all that now?Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17881544159774670591noreply@blogger.com
