Mariano Rivera Injured

[thomas35forever]

That would be one helluva way for baseball's last No. 42 to go out and not the good kind.

[soxfanatlanta]

I think he will come back.

Yep.

Damn shame for Mo. Maybe KW can shake down Cashman by offering Thornton or Crain?

Two of our best relievers? For who?

Any good prospect.

Yep. And I was throwing out the possibility of dealing either Crain or Thornton -- not both.

What a shame. I think it's crazy that BP is still going on while they are trying to cart him off.

[gobears1987]

that's not how I wanted to see him end his career. He was too good to go out like that.

Beat me to it.

I would have expected nothing less. Rivera will be back in 2013.

I hope so, but its partially out of his control. If he can't pitch well, he's done. Even if the worst happens, I hope they at least have him pitch in a send-off game. Maybe if the Yankees are up by 8 runs or something.

Yeah we'll see how he responds to treatment. 43 years old and rehabbing from an ACL tear isn't exactly going to be a walk in the park.

The bigger issue is that his contract expires after this season.

Yeah but if there's one team that can swallow a huge contract for sentimental reasons, it's the Yankees


What's that?
