David Robertson and his wife Erin will forever be part of the BYB fam. They were nice enough to wear Bleeding Yankee Blue shirts for us when our website started up and I was more than happy to make a donation from those shirt sales to the High Socks for Hope foundation.
It was a good marriage between us back then, and because of it, loyalty (especially for me), runs very deep. I will always be a DRob guy here. BYB is his home whenever he wants it to be.
Robertson got the save last night against the Asstros in Game 1. I've never rooted this hard for the Phillies in all my life. Last night was big. Today, the Los Angeles Times has a solid quote from him in regard to his true feelings about the Houston Astros of 2017.
LA Times writes:
"The former Yankee was asked about the Astros and their infamous sign-stealing scandal before the start of the Fall Classic, and years after speaking out about being knocked around in game six of the 2017 ALCS, and the grudge he held for feeling he had been cheated out of a potential pennant, Robertson made it clear that he still hasn’t forgiven Houston.
“I think that those people who were involved in that situation still, every day, at some point, have to realize what they did and live with the decisions they made,” Robertson told the Los Angeles Times. “I will never get 2017 back.”
By the way, I love the shirts I made for Bregman and Altuve here. Haha. Anyway, look, this is 2022 and there is no question that World Series is revenge for DRob and I have tremendous respect for that.
DRob is a team, clubhouse guy. He understands team, he understands being a champion. He's also a gamer. And guess what, he's also one of those guys that's respected in the industry. If he's blasting the Asstros, it's for good reason and it's because he sincerely believes those guys cheated and should be knocked down a few pegs. So, trust his words and give him huge props on shutting those idiots down in Game 1.
Love it DRob!
