Sporting News: Yankees closer David Robertson to have MRI exam on sore oblique
New York Yankees closer David Robertson is expected to have an MRI exam Tuesday because of continued soreness in his left oblique, the New York Daily News reports.
Robertson, who took over as closer when all-time saves leader Mariano Rivera suffered a season-ending knee injury May 3, has been battling discomfort since Friday.
Dear Lord…

Bullpen, bullpen? We don’t need no stinking bullpen!
Hate to say it but the Soriano signing is coming in handy right now. Maybe he’ll rack up a bunch of saves with a decent ERA and opt out.
Soriano being useful: about effing time. Meanwhile, arguably just as useful (or close): Cory Wade, picked up for nothing.
I am coming to the conclusion that the MRI machine CAUSES injuries.
Don’t send him!
The ship be sinking!
I blame the injury-causing MRI machine.
I was just thinking that “Melicious” would be a good handle.
I imagine putting androids inside an MRI is a bad idea.
Remind me to tell OTF about the three Irish drinking buddies who have been drinking together for fifty years.
What happens when steroids are put inside an android that is put inside an MRI?
[9] Michael Bay wet dreams.
Mel Hall is going to the game on Saturday against the Reds to attend old timer’s day, convicts edition!
[3] I think MRI’s can kill you if you go in with a pacemaker. The dye they sometimes use (like on Pineda) has some weird side effects also. Also not good to do an MRI on a pregnant woman.
What about an MRI on a pregnant woman with a pacemaker? Or a woman pregnant with a pacemaker?
Same result?
[12] Well it would start to rip the pacemaker out of your chest, so yeah, that would probably kill you.
[13] In both cases you dye.
[14] So what you’re saying is, Raul Ibanez should avoid MRI’s?
Ja Rule Ibanez don’t go down that easy.

[15] oh man that is cold blooded
See, if we’re not going to do rational analysis, do inane banter punctuated by bad puns instead. Much more fun than complaining!
Yeah what’s wrong with you guys, where’s the rational analysis??
[20] They’ve been dredging the East River. Still looking.
I didn’t have nothin to do with no east river.
Something tells me that this is not in fact the official website of the New York Yankees.
now what would that be?
I am thinking of injecting some dye into Pedroia (and maybe his brother) and sticking him in an MRI time machine, just to see what happens.
