fucking Rivera

BUSTER:

? Mariano Rivera has blown three straight save chances for the first time in his career -- but the Yankees have won his past two, including Sunday?s game. The Yankees? record in games that Rivera has botched save chances in his career:

2013: 2-3
2012: 0-1
2011: 2-3
2010: 2-3
2009: 0-2
2008: 1-0
2007: 1-3
2006: 0-3
2005: 2-2
2004: 2-2
2003: 3-3
2002: 1-3
2001: 3-4
2000: 2-3
1999: 2-2
1998: 4-1
1997: 4-5
1996: 1-2
1995: 1-0
Total: 33-45

To put that number into perspective (a .423 winning percentage), there are three teams -- the Astros, Marlins and White Sox -- currently with a lower winning percentage than the Yankees have had in games which Rivera has blown leads.

A dip shit racist baseball fan threw a banana at Adam Jones? 

There was a ton of talk about this in SF as, generally speaking, we're not really perceived as being a very racist city.  Classist and elitist, sure, but not racist.  Of course, this guy appears to be from the South Bay....

Anyhow, the fan came forward and owned up to his actions.  It doesn't seem as though it was racially motivated.

Can't defend Johnson (maybe it's time for K-Rod) but they scored 4 in one inning.  And that was it.

Time to fire Buck.  Or DFA Jim Johnson so he can't bring him into games that matter anymore.  JJ is having a season that borders on being as bad as Matusz's of a couple of years ago.  Only way JJ doesn't lose a game if he as 3 run lead an no one when he comes in.

Johnson's 3.52 ERA would make him the best starter on the team. Can they make him a starter?

His ERA as a starter would be over 5.  He was a starter in the minors.

I love how ESPN only cares about the Orioles when they're fucking up.  Fuck ESPN.
