Yeah, Rivera blew it, but do any other Yankee fans out there get seriously pissed off when Torre throws Rivera into the worst possible situations like last night, basically setting him up to fail if he isn't up to his hall of fame caliber? I have faith in the guy but if you're going to bring him in during the 8th, do it when he's got a little room to work with or at the beginning of the inning. So frustrating. Good game Sox fans, we'll get ya back tonight..
I know what u mean torre should thrown fransworth or bruney out there to see if they could get a double play ball.....

Rivera was rushed in. He has a very specific routine he does to get warmed up, and what happened to the "not having Mo come in until the 9th" thing that was going on this spring? Proctor and Farnsworth are on the team for a reason. You had 3 runs to give, no need to rush Mo out there. And Vizcaino is worthless, he needs to stop pitching. IMO, this one is on Torre. Terrible end game management.
Poor him.
The Red Sox own Rivera. He's blown a save against them 12 times in the past 3 or 4 years. The Red Sox have his number. It started in the 2004 ALCS.
Did you miss the Boston Massacre last year, when it was Papelbon losing games with the Red Sox season on the line. Mo looked pretty good there.Like I said in another post, Papelbon was overworked last year, he was heavily fatigued, if he was healthy he would have gotten the job done for sure.And the whole team collapsed as well.
No team has had more success against Rivera than the Red Sox. Since 2004, they have owned him. He got a brief relief last year, but things are back to the way they have been since 2004.Â
