Mariano Better than Ever

Happy father's day to all! I hope you had a great day with your family.

Mariano Rivera picked up his 16th save today, pitching a perfect ninth. When the season started, it looked like Mariano's age was showing. He was walking batters. He was giving up hits. He was letting errors lead to runs. But since May 9th, he has not allowed a run in 17 innings pitched. Batters managed just 7 hits against him while he's struck out 18. For the season his ERA stands at 1.01 and the majors are just hitting .163 against him. It seems the stories of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

As a Yankees fan, I certainly hope so- but the true test is *always* against the Red Sox in a big spot.

Let him whiff David Ortiz and I'll be sold, 100%...
