Boy, ESPN...getting really sick of your Red Sawx loving ways. You put Tim Wakefield on the front page after this guy failed to get #200 so many times and needed a football score to get the win? Seriously remove your lips off the Sawx butt hole and clean that brown tongue off....
Closing is about perfection. 600 times, Mariano has had to be PERFECT. His playoff stats are still mind shattering.
Rocker, Gagne, K-rod, Zumaya, Papelbon...all these animated fist pumping head cases...and yet, Mo comes out of the pen like he's taking out the garbage before going to work...lightly jogs to the mound and then walks back when the job is done.
So much for the "next Mo" there is no next...he is the greatest closer and undisputed Sandman of the 9th.
Sportsmanship. Class. No one has EVER bad mouthed Mo. Screw you ESPN.
