Makes sense

I think Weaver/Haren are both a little underrated but they do get their fare share of recognition.  I think the criticism hits them harder if that makes sense, esp with Haren.

Mo Rivera being carried/carted off the field after injuring his knee fielding fly balls.

And more Bryce Harper madness. Hits one right back to Ian Kennedy; Kennedy throws the ball away. Harper gets to second, but never touched first. Out on the appeal.

Yea, that looked REALLY bad. He was clutching his knee for a minute.

Who would close for the Yankees? Robertson or Soriano?

Why should he have retired? He's still the best or second best closer in the majors.

I'd assume it's Robertson.

After Papelbon or Kimbrel? Axford and Storen on the rise, would have been over Mo shortly even without the unfortunate injury.

Last year? Maybe Kimbrel over him. Big maybe. Mo's time at the very top may have been over but he could hold his own against any of those dudes. As biased as it may be, I'll give him a boost for closing out games in the ALE.

Bryce Harper is one year older than me lining balls down the line to win games

  he's for real though man MASN showed a clip of him hitting one off the scoreboard in BP 

 that's at least 500 feet

Also, that would be the worst way for a legend like Mo to end his career. At least I got to meet him this year since his son went to my college

Yankees, call Theo and ask for Marmol. You can fix him. 2 AA prospects. Thx

we won't fix him CP. I'd say they do need to go after someone, though. We've seen far too many dominant 8th inning guys fall on their face when they move to close. I'd swipe Hanrahan.
