Mariano threw an 18 pitch ninth inning last night, in which he was stellar. He was coming off a full week off. Now why, on God's earth, didn't Girardi bring him right back in the tenth inning?
Bad move by Girardi.
Goose Gossage, Bruce Sutter and Tug McGraw would give you three innings and beg to stay in for the fourth.
I agree with you that Rivera should have stayed in, especially when the next guy in is Coke.
