I might actually die from excitement.

pay attention here people
when a man threatens to felate a hot iron and ride the pith helmet hes sincere about his business

in yesterdays ny daily they showed the stiffs the yanks paid more than rivera and then across the league
gil meche is getting more money than rivera this year and cashman wants to wait this out to november??

good
i hope rivera thinks of his future and shuts it down around august 10th

"You never know"was the quote he gave reporters from his car when asked if he be pitching in Boston next yr. Just to see some of NYY fans faces when they read that would have een hilarious.

He's playing the "respect card"...straight out of the Pedro Martinez book of negotiation.

I can't tell you how thrilled I'd be if the Yankees fkd this up and lost him. Sh*t, if he ever ended up in Boston it'd be monumental.

However, Bernie also said he'd consider Boston several years ago...then after jacking up his price to the NYY he signed there and said he never really intended to play anywhere else, so my guess is Mariano stays put, too.

kirby puckett did the same thing
then he tuned up his wife while eating his way into a diabetic coma

rivera would solve a lot of problems here

Again, Rivera isn't going anywhere. Mariano Rivera is a centerpiece of the organization, and a productive member of the franchise. Bernie Williams isn't even a spare part at this point. Money won't be an issue, he's just trying to get his big contract.

I'll stop watching baseball if Rivera pitches for Boston.

so its the name on the back of the jersey you root for?
rivera didnt do a schilling
schilling flat out said hed pitch anywhere but ny
rivera made it clear that he would pitch in boston

i know the likely hood of this happening is improbable but i also like to think that mariano is feeling disrespected being paid less than gil fucking meche and i could see the resentment building just as andy petitte did 3 years ago

The Yanks should have addressed the Mo extension a long time ago, especially in light of not signing Bernie. There still are, believe it or not, some Yankee fans who believe in taking care of those who have done so much to make the team successful. Mo certainly leads that cast. As for Bernie, I hate to see him go, but by the same token, I understand the direction the Yankees are headed in and his skills at this point do not mesh with that direction. It would be great if he retired a Yankee and took a position with the organization in the development of the minor league outfielders.

Mr Crunchy · 02-15-2007, 03:29 PM

bernie is awful now
but fucking around with rivera before the season starts is a sure sign of stupidity on cashmans end
real fucking stupid to have the best pitcher arguably in the franchises history be left out to dry as the scatine in baseball fly past him in earnings.

this isnt a declining petey martinez we're discussing
we're talking about the best relief pitcher in the game who continues to dominate

theyre playing with fire and i for 1 am enjoying the spectacle

Was thinking about this very point this a.m. The Yanks fkd Pettitte 3 yrs ago and he was pissed...and he comes back saying:

"Everything's kind of the same," Pettitte said. "It feels like I never left."

Either he has a short memory, or he is disengenuous or $16m was way more than ANY other team was going to pay him. Take yer pick.

or.... he saw how badly the Astros did in addressing their needs this off-season and jumped while he could.

this offseason was successful for boston
its also successful for the columbus skip jacks too as theyve improved

im looking forward to rivera being out with a strained ass after the break

That sounds more like a Pavano injury!

Jon_Papelboner · 02-15-2007, 07:20 PM

I know it seems like a no-brainer to give mo an extension but I'm not so sure that it is. Isn't he around 37? It sounds like heresy but it is possible that doesn't close out games as well in the near future.

As for Posada, give him an extension I guess, although he's getting up there in age as well.

Get rid of A rod as soon as possible.

It's not in protest, I'm showing how sure I am the guy is not going to Boston. Mariano will not pitch for the Red Sox. I'm not going to push it further, I'm not really worried about it.

Rivera just wants to get paid, and says he won't act bitchingly as Bernie did. Good for him.
