Mike Francesa & Chris Russo on WFAN fail to mention Eric Gagne hitting Mariano Rivera

In the 5PM hour they discuss the Yankee-Red Sox game, I wait to hear them mention the NY Post and others reporting Eric Gagne threw a ball from the Red Sox bullpen last night and hit Rivera in the elbow right before the 9th inning. Rivera's arm was numb as he went into pitch the game, and he gave a tremendous clutch performance against David Ortiz with the bases loaded to save the game.

• Both Mike and Chris noted Rivera struggled in that inning, BUT MADE NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF HIS BEING HIT IN THE ELBOW MINUTES BEFORE.

I EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO WFAN'S INSTANT ACCESS TO NOTIFY THEM, BUT SO FAR IT'S BEEN IGNORED.

• So Mariano's performance has been criticized mistakenly to a huge audience--so much for New York bias.
