Putting this guy’s name in the same sentence with Rivera is an insult to Mo. He has about as much class and mentality a three minute egg.

How many losses did Valverde?

How many does Rivera have?

Saves are as much about the situation before the reliever enters the game as they are about what the reliever does once he get there. The fact that Valverde gave up his runs when the team was up by 2 or 3, or when they were tied, does not change the fact that he gave up more baserunners, more runs, more HR and allowed them at a higher rate than Mo.

Clippard’s reward was getting into the All-Star Game.

A few of us did survive. As the Nats win more often, many front-runners will emerge from their caves, proclaiming themselves survivors.

Tyler Clippard had a much better ERA, but since he plays for the Nats, no one votes for him. Nationals fans went extinct with the dinosaurs 45 million years ago.

I can’t believe that Brian Wilson didn’t win.

Isn’t it funny when big mouths like Valverde put their foot in their mouths? It would be even better if the Yankees kick their asses tomorrow night.

Adams and Bastardo need to be in the conversation. Saves dont mean anything more then their manger decided to use them in the 9th inning.

Hopefully this made him feel better during the plane ride to NY. You know, the one they weren’t going to be making.

This pot bellied swayback couldn’t hold David Robertson’s jock, let alone the great Mariano Rivera’s. What this guy should do is go on a conditioning program, or contact Jenny Craig.

Most outstanding relief pitcher? How about David Robertson?

When Jose and those 3 other “vote getters” get another 183 saves combined, they’ll be relevant!

He’s an awful delivery man! I ordered a pizza and he ate the damn thing on the way over!
