Rivera is a pitcher to save a lead. The new Joe looks like the old Joe in managing pitchers.

I don't believe there is an easy solution for this inconsistency at the plate but I do believe games like these will cost us in the end. If we keep this up there will be no October.

I think the knock on him is that he was out of shape when he came over. He was a good reliever in Baltimore, a decent 7th inning guy. But the Yankees seem to be prejudiced against heavyset players. Look at their teams over the past ten to twelve years, and even before then. The only really fat guy on the team was Wells. Irabu was known as the "Fat Toad", but he was a couple of pounds overweight, not obese by any means, but to the Yankee "Braintrust" he was gigantic. Remember when they got on Bruney's case last year, because he was a little pudgy. They told him to slim down and he did. For some reason fat guys can't be Yankees, and Britton is the latest victim. Not saying that he's all that good, but I don't think he's that bad. I just believe that they asked him to lose weight in no uncertain terms, and he told them to piss off, so now he's stuck on the Scranton shuttle. Just release the guy already.
