Mo' sucking

Yankees fans don't want to admit it. But Mariano Rivera doesn't have it anymore.

Lucky for New York last night, when the sainted closer entered the game in the 9th inning, the team already had a seven-run lead. Not really a situation to bring your closer into, but New York had used up every other pitcher on its roster ahead of today's off-day as Angels batters rocked Mike Mussina and the bullpen for 25 runs in two days.
It was another crappy performance by Rivera, who gave up a run and three hits, and far from the dominance he was known for in yesteryear. In Rivera's last 10 games, he's given up 14 hits and 6 runs over 10 2/3rd innings.

He's a great symbol of how things have fallen apart all at once for the Yanks in 2007.
