As I said---more LIES from the MLB monopoly about "Mariano Resting"

Even though Farnsworth has had NO SVS AND NO SVO'S since Sept. 1 (Mo pitched thru 8/31), THEY'RE TELLING YOU FARNSWORTH IS ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB, LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS CARRYING THIS BIG BURDEN SO MO CAN RELAX. HEY, MLB, HOW ABOUT THE 3 RUNS FARNSWORTH GAVE UP ON 8/27 V THE ANGELS, AND MO HAD TO COME IN FOR 2 IP AFTER THAT? SOME NEW CLOSER. BEWARE THE MEDIA BIAS. *MLB HEADLINES FROM MLB.COM 8:10 PM ET Thurs., 9/7/06 * Sanchezs no-hitter starting to sink in * Dynamic dozen up for Aaron Award * Francona's leadership shows in trying stretch * Others getting chances with Mariano out * Duffy does it all as Pirates drop Cubs * Rays impressed by Young's knowledge * VOTE: Aaron | Hometown | Man of Year | Comeback * More MLB.com News | MLB's Mark Feinsand states "Farnsworth has become the new closer" in Mo's absence. FALSE: Farnsworth in Sept. 2006: SVO=0 SVs=0 IP: 1 IP on 9/3 (didn't give up runs); 1 IP on 9/6, GAVE UP 2 RUNS. HEY, GUYS, MARIANO PITCHED THROUGH AUGUST 31. ON AUGUST 27, MO WAS FORCED TO PITCH 2 INNINGS IN ANAHEIM BECAUSE******FARNSWORTH********GAVE UP 3 RUNS IN THE GAME. NOW, JUST LIKE LAST SEPTEMBER, AS I'VE DOCUMENTED HERE, THE MEDIA WAS OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY SAYING THERE WAS A NEW CLOSER, MARIANO WAS BEING GIVEN A HOLIDAY. MLB -Newsflash---FARNSWORTH HAS NOT BECOME THE NEW CLOSER. HE HAS ZERO SAVES OR SVO'S SINCE 8/31. HE'S ONLY PITCHED 2 IP, and in 1 of them GAVE UP 2 RUNS.*************** THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS BECAUSE THE PATHETIC YANKEE FAN BASE ALLOWS IT. "In Rivera's absence, Kyle Farnsworth has moved into the closer's role." Quote from Mark Feinsand's article on MLB.com 9/7/06.

• Update on 9/8/06, George King of the NY Post informs the MLB propagandist:

" In the six games Rivera has missed the Yankees didn't get into a save situation, so Rivera's arm trouble hasn't cost them a win."
