“. . . If at some point, God willing, I’m an old man telling stories on a porch somewhere, the first thing I’ll say was that I got to cover the great Rivera. . .”

What a nice thing to say Pete. There are a lot of people out here who envious of that part of your job; me included and I wouldn’t trade what I do with anybody.

If only I could beleive that Mo never did steroids. Sadly I think he probably abused PED’s somewhere along the line just like Roger, Andy, Alex and Giambi.

Thank you for that personal aside, Pete.

It’s a real privilege to watch the greatest at anything, but to watch Mo do it with so much class and professionalism makes it all the richer.

When Mo comes in a game it’s drama,intense,heart pounding,and he makes it seem so effortless.When the rare time of a blown save it was drama, .,e. 2004 ALCS.

He has the most grace under pressure,than any one I’ve witnessed on the Mound.

Every body loves Mo. How could they no,if they love the game?

I find it ironic that Pete glows about Rivera and his willingness to stand up and talk about his failures to the media and then is so criticial of ARod who stands and listens to the stupidest questions about his ability and is as stand up as any player in losing.

I love Rivera and think he is class and the best ever, but it is clear that the bias people show is unfair

Brent, he has caused no drama here in th US… but in Panama, he is not very supported because he bailed out of playing the 2006 WBC… being a Panamanian, i don’t blame him, they Panamanian team sucked, AND the guy who is the head of baseball in Panama is a crook and I can’t stand him… I stand behind Mo’ in whatever he does!
