Eight Reasons Why Joe Pulled Dave Robertson and Put in Alfredo Aceves

1. He's got family coming in for the weekend game in New York.

2. Robertson was on a pitch count of five.

3. He was ordering Italian takeout and dialed the bullpen by mistake.

4. He wanted the game to end so he could watch that scary episode of "House."

5. He's saving Robertson for the World Series.

6. He actually called for Chad Gaudin, but his leg was asleep.

7. Ronan Tynan, who compiled the scouting report, had a personal thing about "Howie" Kendrick.

8. If it's just a four-game series, he won't get to see those Corona commercials with the hot babe on the beach.
