That guy is an overrated, overused, empty save compiling reliever. He is a good reliever, but no where near the same class as Mo Rivera. When the going gets tough, this guy has proven on the big stage, that he will get going.. This angels team won their lone WS with percival as the closer. Last year K-rod gives up the big 3 run walk off homer to manny and tonight, after his team clawed back to tie the game, this clown gives up a two run homer to JD drew. I am sorry, but MO never did those things, the only thing I can remember is the homer vs the indians in the 97 playsoffs and the infield blooper vs the diamondbacks, but other than that , mo has been money and the catalys for the yanks winning 4 WS titles. When the money is on the line K-rod has seemed to fail, more than he has given his team that big boost, especially against boston... I was never a big fan of this guy, and tonight, he most likely sealed his teams fate vs boston..

He wasn't even a top-5 closer this year, and the way his strikeouts have been dropping makes me think he's going to be an overpay at best case and an albatross at worst case for whoever gives him that big contract in the offseason.

I understand small celebrations, but this clown and his demonstrative outburst after a strikeout or save are just way over the top..
