The Yanks faced Robertson twice this season and played their classic style of ball; fouling off pitches and tagging him late in the game. Robertson and Wang took the hill against eachother for the second of those two meetings and the Bombers won 2-0. I'm hoping for a similar performance by Chien-Ming against the reeling Tigers. If it were not for their incredible start to the season, they would not have even made the playoffs. I really like the batting order Torre has for today, but if A-Rod gets his act together or if Sheff falters, look for them to switch places.
