...three-game series Giambi and Jeter got hit a collective five times by Sox pitching, and that Jeter visited the hospital (after a clearly unintentional conk on the head by Timlin)? Sure-that's very important. It will echo, down the line. And is it important that Mariano blew two more saves, getting a win and a loss, for four blown in his last four ops and six in his last 11 against the Sox? That's really important...
...There are theories on this: That Mo's getting old, that the stats against Boston are somehow misleading. I subscribe to the idea that the Sox, and no one else, have figured him out. By the end of the series in the Stadium, Mariano had faced the Red Sox 29 times since opening day of '03. His ERA against them was 2.89 (1.38 against all other clubs) and his strikeout-to-walk ratio was 2.2 (5.9 against the rest of baseball). The Sox all stand well back in the box against Rivera now, and the lefties are opening...
...that's possible because Kim and her husband, architect Michael Mariano, are members of Flexcar, one of more than a dozen car-sharing companies revving up across the U.S. As such, the pair have only to jump on the Internet or call a local number to reserve one of several vehicles parked in their neighborhood. They can choose between a Honda, a Lexus, a minivan for carting equipment or, for a jaunty weekend outing, a silver Mazda Miata. They can enter the car any time of night or day with a security-coded electronic card, get charged by the hour...
...original core from the mid-nineties is nearly gone, and the Yankees don’t have any farm system to speak of. Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada will be productive in the Bronx for at least a few more seasons, but guys like Bernie Williams and even Mariano Rivera are losing value as they...
...ROJAS. But some credit for the Red Sox miracle has to go to the Yankees--who, after building a three- game lead, forgot how to play Yankee baseball. They showed little patience at the plate and too much on the base paths--and in the case of ace closer Mariano Rivera, didn't automatically stifle the opposition. The result: a team with a $184 million payroll (the Red Sox are second, at $127 million) performed the most crushing seven-game swan dive the grand old game ever witnessed...
