That makes him Georgian American. I'll post on the African American comment later.<BR/><BR/>Manuel could have used Pedro in that spot. I dont see any other options being Maine was out and he needed to throw out someone every day to start.<BR/>Again, if they score more than 5 runs in 3 games against the Marlins this is all moot.ThePeoplesChamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665984137973743304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040698769460875478.post-57963271025867950622008-10-02T13:41:00.000-04:002008-10-02T13:41:00.000-04:00Mariano is the best thing I have ever seen in spor...Mariano is the best thing I have ever seen in sports.<BR/><BR/>I would actually let him pitch as long as he wants.

Couldn't he have pitched a starter in those final innings? It was a sudden death to save the season.<BR/><BR/>Then again, he did have an extremely short leash. Sadly, they gave up two solo homers.<BR/><BR/>Manuel seems like a great manager.

But ...Mariano.......best closer ever, no argument. But he was like a different person when brought in to a non-save situation this season. I'm not a stat man, but how many times was he brought in to hold a tie game and he blew it? (TPC can probably find stats to show that Maraino in a non-save situation was like ARod in a clutch situation). <BR/>So note to Girardi for '09.......Mariano only comes in with the lead.The Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603011937930444955noreply@blogger.com
