The Mariano Rivera Thread

[yankeebiscuitfan]

Mo didn't pitch Wednesday due to soreness in his triceps.

Slowly the small nagging injuries seem to occur more often.

I know he has a year left on his contract after this season, but do you think that he may retire after the 2011 campaign?
Or do you think that he will pitch again in 2012 to get the all time saves record?

[RickD]

He keeps it up, he'll have the all time saves record this year!

He WILL pitch in 2012 and really, the way he is playing now, he could pitch in 2015!

His numbers are great this year and what player doesn't get nagging injuries....

[TTMCentral]

He will most likely continue to 2015. There is nothing stopping him. He might not continue with the Yanks but he will be around.

[munson15ny]

He will pitch until he has the record.......as already stated nagging injuries happen like sh!t.......

[wcs71401]

We may see the invention of Mariano Rules. Day off for every inning he pitches.

[wassit3]

He will pitch until 2012 at least, on his way to the HOF...

With Derek Jeter marching ever upward past 3,000, it is time to turn our attention to another Yankee about to break a record...

Mariano Rivera is now marching towards history. He is 9 away from a tie with Trevor Hoffman and 10 away from owning the record outright.

I will countdown each save here on the way to 602!

[Old Sweater]

10 Mo for the record!

Thanks, snuck up on me.

[RickD]

Same here. For some reason I almost didn't catch this.

I look fw to tracking this one the rest of the way!

[yankeebiscuitfan]

Do you think he will break the record this season?
