...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 up to better catch the cutter. All the hitters are allowing the borderline cutters to dive out of the strike zone if that's what it wants to do; they're the only ones in the league with the confidence to show patience against...
...NORBERTO RIVERA CARRERA, 62, Archbishop of Mexico City. Unwavering on traditional doctrine, and carries himself with papal eminence...
...build the momentum necessary to reach the two-thirds threshold. Assuming that Ratzinger truly is not angling for the job, one lingering question is: Who is his preferred candidate? Three Cardinals who enjoy particular respect from their German colleague are India's Ivan Dias, Mexico City's Norberto Rivera Carrera and Vienna's Christoph Schonborn.

...most ardent defenders was Mexico City's Norberto Cardinal Rivera Carrera, who notoriously blamed the entire sex abuse scandal on the U.S. media. Rivera was one of just a handful of fellow Cardinals in attendance today at St. Peter's. He is also on most Vatican watchers' short-lists of "papabili" or potential popes. But it remains to be seen whether Rivera could muster key support from the 11-strong bloc of U.S. Cardinals after his remarks about the scandal.

...Further north, an equally outspoken candidate is Mexico City's Archbishop NORBERTO CARDINAL RIVERA CARRERA, 62. He epitomizes the feverish Catholicism of his 19 million mostly poor acolytes, boosting native rites and symbols. But Rivera Carrera is no liberal; he has close ties to the Legionaries of Christ, a flourishing right-wing society of priests. He is sometimes a too-fierce defender of the faith: when the U.S. pedophile crisis broke, he saw it as a "campaign of media persecution against the entire Catholic church." Another archconservative is DARIO CARDINAL CASTRILLON HOYOS, 75, whose star is said to be fading...
