No one has cared about is opinion on anything baseball related in years. He had a nice thing going as as a political talking head, but was too much of a douche (unless Al Gore is part of this vast right-wing conspiracy. Rush Limbaugh is a sports an, but I don’t want to hear him talk sports either. I am just giving my advise. They guy is just a random turd – but if you want to worship at his baseball alter, feel free. .

The guy is just a douche. And he provides no interesting baseball insight, as evidenced by the quote and the fact that no one has reference his opinion on anything baseball related in years.

Hmmmmm, what’s wrong with this picture? You have prostate issues and you put up with terrible sex every day. You either live alone, or you’re very narcissistic.

Next, you claim that you don’t know what I’m talking about? I think that when most readers take a look at your screen name, they wonder WTF you’re talking about.

Dude, don’t worry about the band-aid. Hurry up and pack, the mother ship is waiting for you behind the moon.

No question he’s the greatest of all time. Sorry to see him go if he is done. No nasty comebacks, no jokes. Just hope he’s not done. Love watching him pitch.

That makes sense. Sigh.

Hating the Yankees is in my DNA, like most Sox fans. Aside from that statement, I cannot think of a ball player on another team that I respect more than Mariano Rivera. He was always cordial when in Fenway and did his job better than any other closer in baseball, ever. The game has lost a true warrior if he has pitched his last game.

I hope he comes back for one more year and ends the year in 2013 getting out of a bases loaded, game on the line jam to win the World Series.

I was PRAYING that for some crazy reason he would actually sign with the Sox. I knew it wasn’t going to happen but the thought of it was amazing!! As Red Sox fans, the Yankees that we “hate” we hate (and respect)because they are just that damn good. Good luck Mo! Hope you recover soon!

Every now and then we’d get to see Mo pitch when they came out here. My kid – who’s 10 – loved watching Rivera. We’d stand 20 feet from him in the bullpen and he’d just be in awe. I will miss those moments the most.

As a Sox fan myself, that is he precise moment I realized just how much I liked and respected Rivera (as if everything that came before wasn’t enough). I use that moment to describe to people what a class act Rivera is and how it’s just about impossible to root against him.

Not that there’s much competition for the title given my general distaste of the Yankees, but he’s easily my favorite Yankee ever.
