One of the things Brian Noe reflected on regarding the announcement of Mariano Rivera's retirement was how shocked people would be, including himself, when Rivera would occasionally fail to come through in the clutch. Who is the active player in pro sports that shocks you the most when he doesn't come through in the clutch...

Mariano Rivera continues rehabilitation on his torn ACL from when he was shagging fly balls in the outfield in Kansas City during the 2012 season. In the meantime, we can already make his Hall of Fame plaque in Cooperstown for election in say, well who knows...

So now, blowhard Keith Olbermann is the "source" starting the Alex Rodriguez to the Miami Marlins trade rumors. I wonder if Benedict Arnold started a rumor if the lame media would chase after that. In case you missed it, the media was in a frenzy yesterday over the "rumor" that the Yanks would deal A-Rod to Miami in a huge package of players and money transfer...

New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera tore his ACL on Thursday night. Mo was shagging fly balls during batting practice before the game against the Kansas City Royals.

13 hits and 3 measly runs to show for it. That was the story of the Yankees (13-12) game against the Kansas City Royals (8-16) on Thursday night. The Royals ended up winning 4-3. The Yankees failed to score with runners in scoring position in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th and 9th innings...

It was an old fashion pitcher’s duel on Monday night but it was Hiroki Kuroda and the Yankees (13-9) who came out on top beating the Orioles (14-9) 2-1. Kuroda put his strongest outing together as a Yankee going seven strong innings only allowing one run on four hits...

For the second night in a row it took extra innings for the Yankees (3-3) and Orioles (3-3) to decide the game, and for the second night in a row the Yankees came out on top, beating Baltimore 6-4 and completing the series sweep.

What a strange way to start the season. C.C. Sabathia struggled early on, having trouble getting out of the first inning. The Ray's loaded the bases in the first and Carlos Pena made C.C. pay with a 1st inning grand slam. Sabathia eventually settled down only giving up a solo home run in the 3rd to Evan Longoria.

Mariano Rivera is 42 years old, and has been toying with the idea of retirement for a few years now.  He says that he knows if he'll retire at the end of this season, he's just not saying which way he is leaning.

I hate to be the messenger of this news, but it is very true - Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is going to have surgery.
