When John Sterling said he could play for the next 20 years I thought to myself he would be 107 at that time.

“It took a long time, huh?
[Pause for cheers]
First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the
opportunity. I want to thank the Steinbrenner family, the
Yankee organization, the city of New York, and all you
beautiful fans for supporting me.
[Pause for cheers]
Most of all, I’d like to thank my mom, my friends, and loved
ones for their support. I want to give my appreciation to
Joe Girardi and the late Joe Torre. Joe Torre was a great
manager. He was a great friend to me. I love you, Joe. I
wish you were here.
[Pause for cheers]
Trevor Hoffman was the symbol of great game saving. But
today, I’m the greatest of all time. Thank you.”
Though Mariano Rivera might have broken Trevor Hoffman’s all-time saves record his record might not last all that long. The Red Sox have their own Mariano being groomed in that of Daniel Bard.
Bard has a way better fastball than Mariano could ever dream of having as well as an arsenal of pitches that make him almost impossible to hit. He surely will be in anchor in the Sox bullpen for the next 56 seasons and he will smash the record by 1,099,243,999. The Sox will win every World Series during his tenure and Bard will shatter the all time post season ERA with a life time 0.01 of his own in 1,000,000 innings pitched.
The Red Sox seem poised to become the next great dynasty in the world. Challenge the Yanks? Please!!! They’re going to challenge the Romans for greatest empire ever.

Rivera is a hack. He speaks of god as I’d he is a preacher.we all know god is a Red Sox fan. That the bible was written soley for Red Sox Nation. My good friend Eric Ortiz of NESN is the Apostle himself….he speaks the true gospel to all of our Nation. He strikes fear in the hearts of this so called “Evil Empire” as if he were Lucifer himself! Bard makes Rivera look like Scott Proctor. This is Peter Gammons Brain Tumor. That is all

Fake– the real Peter Gammon’s Brain Tumor spells and punctuates correctly. I know Peter Gammon’s Brain Tumor; Peter Gammon’s Brain Tumor is a friend of mine– and you, sir, are no Peter Gammon’s Brain Tumor.
You should all be thanking ME for this opportunity! I was the one who set up the save situation … on purpose of course!! Just so Mo could get the save! You’re welcome, everyone.
Whoops – Black Jack relieved Rivera in the ninth inning with two men on and got Edgar and A-Rod to end the threat. So basically Buck could either stay with McDowell or go to the terrible John Wetteland. I think he made the right call.
The mistake was letting Cone stay in to pitch to Doug Strange with the bases loaded in the 8th when we was clearly fried.

seriously happy this man pitched in my lifetime. I look forward to being able to tell my grandkids about this man. Congrats mo. It has been a great season for the bombers this year.
I honestly may have a nervous breakdown when this man retires. We will be truly fucked. Thank you Mo for being classy and a gentleman in the era of dickhead look at me closers. Yes K-Rod, Papelfuck & yes even you fear the fucking beard. Watch & learn.
Don’t worry, Binder says I can use the unstoppable combination of Boone Logan, Aaron Laffey, Scott Proctor and Sergio Mitre to take over after Mo leaves. Our bullpen will be unstoppable!!
