What's with Rivera and these gutwretching blown saves against Boston? It seems every year at Fenway, he has one that just disgusts ya to no end, and it's not even against the cream of the crop hitter's wise. He seems to shake like a leaf in big spots moreso than he ever did before. |

This one was poor location. He was missing badly against Varitek. Before the hit, some of the balls Varitek fouled off were fastballs Nieves called for inside, probably off the plate (Varitek was behind in the count) and the sh*t wound up on the outside corner. The game-tying hit went right over the middle. The stuff was there, though. So I'm not too concerned. Just like Scutaro's homer came on a 94 mph fastball inside. You go into the year knowing that Mariano is gonna blow 6-7 games and a few of them will be heart-breakers. This was one, and so was the A's game. But since the velocity and movement are there, you still expect him to finish out with 40 saves and a sub-2.00 ERA. That's why I don't suck his dick like most fans. Because I expect him to f*ck up a few of my evenings with nutsack-wrenching blown saves. It's what he does. But he'll have another Rivera-esque season, so it's whatever. In some of his other blown saves to Boston, he didn't have it or something was wrong with him. Remember that walkoff HR the little slap-hitting pussy drilled off him (f*ck his name - the one who finished 2nd for the batting title one year, hit like .326; played 3B for them)? Yeah, Mariano was throwing 87-88 in that game. |

Bill Mueller, and he won the batting title. I don't know what's with Rivera, but he's pissing me off big time. |

There's nothing with Rivera...A bunch of you hit the panic button when he blew back to back saves in April '05 against the Sox. He can't sit for 5 days and be expected to be sharp. |

didn't he blow a few last year against the mets and everyone flipped out too? I'm annoyed at him because he showed uncharacteristic bitchyness this offseason, but I'm sure he'll be fine. |

No, writing a paper on Henry VIII, resarching Nixon's trip to China for my historigraphic essay, reading a book about the Cambodian genocide and preparing for a presentation on American foreign policy from 1790-1945. How's English 102, smartass? |

It sucks. I have to write a paper on the nature of life and the thematic purpose of Hamlet. Good call on the EN 102, by the way. |

Hamlet was a f*ggot just like his old man. Claudius didn't kill Hamlet's father, AIDS did. |

Just put that in the intro of your paper and everything will be peachy. |

What school you at again Drew? And after freshman year when you get those BS core requirements out of the way and can do stuff more applicable to your major it gets easier. Plus no more 8:30 seminars. |

OK I've actually hung out with a bunch of people from that school at home. Girl I graduated HS with is a sophomore there and brought some friends home. Hopefully for you they weren't indicitive of how good looking the student body is there. These girls ranked a solid 17 on the How Many Beers Would It Take scale. If you and your friends don't use that system for coeds bring it up one time, should get some good laughs and stick. |

:lmao: Didn't Hamlet Sr. die because of a snake bite in the ear? Could've been euphemism for a black man ear-f*cking him with the anaconda. |

Glad I'm not watching today either. I just can't stomach seeing Boston fans get joy. Fenway games just upset me to no end. I hate that f*ckers real bad. |

If you simply would contact MM, One-By-One, YankeeBaseball and me we could fill you in on all that. We witnessed it all first hand. I knew all six of his wives. They just wouldn’t put out. |

You would have enjoyed the segment where they compared Alex Cora’s bloop hit to Luis Gonzalez’s bloop in the 2001 World Series and they showed each of them and gloated over it. |
