Is it official?

Is it safe to say Mariano Rivera is no longer "owned" by the red sox? With no problems since the blown opportunities in 04 and beginning of 05, Mo has yet to have a problem with the red sox in save situations. I'd say the red sox being his Daddy tag is off. If the bosox fans cheer for him again, it'll be because he's retiring.

Thanks for the run in the 8th and the two hits, Rivera. Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.

[empirestrikesback26]

That was Farnworth's run. Do you know how the game of baseball works? Inherited runner don't go against a pitcher. There's a thread in the MLB forum that might cover that, maybe you should check it out.

 

As far as wanting mo to be in a save situation tomorrow....uhhh, hey we agree on something! So do I!

[Sox fan in Tex]

I know how the game works. It is Farnsworth's run, but Rivera still gave up the hit to Manny to score that run. Sure, on the stat sheet it's not Mariano's run, but we still thank him for it.

 

I get your point, though and why you started the thread. Blah, blah, blah... Rivera is still the greatest, the Yankees won at Fenway, ect. My advice is to fix that middle relief, though, to get to Rivera. He shouldn't have even really been in the ball game.

He hasn't gotten much work of late anyway, he needs to start getting consistent innings. The fact that his command is picking up is very encouraging.

 

The bridge looks a little rickety right now, but Dotel is around the corner.

[Mr Crunchy]

familiarity breeds contempt

rivera has seen the sox far too often

the notion that the sox own his ass isnt proper

manny and papi and that offense owned a lot of guys over the years

 

hes still the last guy you want to see out there from a boston point of view

It is a arguable that they should.

'fternoon james

im very bitter about last nite and i think i'll take it out on the 1st bloated pasty ********** i see wearing a yankee hat this evening....

its been a while since my wife got the call from the ballpark

[empirestrikesback26]

It is a arguable that they should.

How? Give half a run to the pitcher that put the runner there and half a run to the pitcher that gave up the RBI? That's the only way I see it happening.

[empirestrikesback26]

Now? I already say he's no longer owned, maybe this 1-2-3 inning changes a few naysayers, but I doubt it. It's like trying to teach evolution to a bunch of fundamentalists.
