New York Yankees Editorial: The Bronx is Boiling — The Curse of Robinson Cano

Oh Yankees fans. Saturday was not good. It has nothing to do with Michael Pineda tossing a stinker. He will be just fine. I know a lot of people are concerned with his innings, but it’s time for Pineda to throw together a full season and lead this team to the playoffs. A few bad games along the way won’t hurt.

Nor does it have to do with the fact that they lost a close game to one of the worst and least exciting teams in the American League. With Fernando Rodney blowing yet another save and raising his ERA to 5.59 on Sunday — which is just beautiful for a closer — the preseason favorites to take the AL West are about to become sellers at the trade deadline.

No, it has to do with the fact that the New York Yankees lost single handedly to Robinson Cano. You know, the guy that everyone loves to hate because he took a bigger deal? You know the guy that now has seven RBI in six games played at Yankees Stadium since leaving? You know, that guy I still wish was in pinstripes? The Bronx is boiling and I need to blow some steam.
