Mike Francesa on Mariano Rivera's outing 8/12/07

Francesa on WFAN on Rivera's 8th and 9th inning outing yesterday (8/12):

• He didn't have it yesterday. How do you know if Mariano doesn't have it? When he misses by FEET. He had nothing when he started in the 8th inning, but Torre brought him out again in the 9th because he is Mariano Rivera. No other reliever with nothing could've gotten out of it like he did. He saved the game 'between his ears.' He gets calm when things around him get stormy. That's why he's the best big game reliever of all time. Mike added he was wrong in his initial assessment of Melky, who's turned out better than he expected.
