wow, hope everything gets sorted out with him, i have a TON of respect for him. however, not to make this sound bad or anything, but if we dont face rivera, and we win late in a game, yankee fans will just say that we didnt have to face rivera, so we didnt REALLY beat them, and that will piss the living hell out of me. that said, like sarasoxfan said, any advanatage we can use is fair game. as we know, we already dont have our great post-season pitcher in williamson, so they can go without rivera.
although it is kinda wrong to use 2 family deaths of rivera as an advantage... :wtf:
