Great work by Ron Villone & Mariano Rivera--No thanks to YES

Ron Villone comes in to mop up after Johnson falls apart, & does a great job in the 7th inning--has the bases loaded & no outs & gets out of it. Farnsworth the complete coward gives up 4 huge runs in 2/3 of an inning in the 8th--for all his money the creep can't pitch 2 days in a row. So he practically loses the game, forces Mariano to have to come in again in the 8th inning and clean up the whole gigantic mess. The adoring coverage that creep Randy Johnson gets is out of hand--from the Yankee radio, to the YES people, to the NY Times writer--it's unwarranted. Ron Villone was only mentioned briefly in the NY Times, which wasted a huge amount of space on Johnson. The YES Network continues to neglect and disrespect Mariano, giving him virtually no coverage in the highlights, with about 2 seconds of video. I got a rewarding, lingering look at #42 on the Mets Channel last week, when the YES people ignored him. I hope Mariano goes to another team if he decides to play beyond his Yankee contract. They do not respect him nearly enough. The crap he's gotten that team out of for 11 years has never been done by any other human being and never will be again. This is a fact that anyone can agree to. Yet they ignore this man. Finally, Al Leiter is shockingly bad. Instant turnoff.
