Nurse! Dibs is about to faint--can't take the truth about Mo

Dibs is a great radio talent & loyal to his friends, BUT, if he'd stop making negative remarks about Mariano Rivera, I could have a life instead of writing this blog. Dibs, as a service to you & Kevin, here's the latest on Mariano Rivera (COB 6/30/06):

• Leads the majors among late inning relievers with 44 IP.
• Leads the majors in games finished with 35 (you always said you liked the GF stat...until now).
• 1 of only 2 ML late inning relievers who've not surrendered a HR so far this year (BJ Ryan is the other).

And Dibs, Mo has 431 career saves...& his team uses him for more than 1 inning, & with men on base--unlike your pal in the sleepy pitchers' park on the west coast---they're only allowed to use him for 1 inning, which means no men on base. Kind of puts a burden on the rest of the pitching staff, wouldn't you say? He's clearly there to nurse his stats--helping the team is 2nd.
