Similarly, the Cold Pizza clowns opted not to confront their wrongs (other than Bayless derisively sneering at your $1 million challenge). The only guy I heard call out one of his brethren was Dan Patrick (on ESPN radio) who noted that Thorne had been bound by Journalism 101 to corroborate, validate, and verify data before it is reported. The only “validation” that had been spewed was stuff like “I know Thorne, and he wouldn’t lie,” and “I respect Thorne; why would he lie?” The only “corroboration” I heard regarding this matter, oddly, was in its own way insidious enough. Mariotti, on Day One, for example, said “You know, this has come up before.” Peter Gammons, who I used to like, said “It was written in 2004 in a couple of places that he was accused of faking the bloody sock.” So, if I get this straight, these guys are free to “report” whatever it is they want and, once reported, it becomes empirical data upon which reliance can prudently be based. This mirrors the abuse of power manifested in the Duke case. Although the “rogue” DA had been elected (and thus perhaps should have been at least somewhat honor-bound), these “reporters” also trespassed every principle of civility. The Duke DA was (albeit belatedly) ousted; these scoundrels, on the other hand, are free to slander tomorrow without regard to what is true and correct.

Why? Cause the Yanks either win by 5 or more runs, or lose. I think with the Yankees team this year, you wil see that trend continue. Riviera will be lucky to get 25-30 saves. I don’t see him having lower then a 3.00 era either.

I know when you have a rough outing you are not overly hard on yourself, as its only a game. Additionally, with the team you have, you can expect run support. You as a pitcher have a job to do and that is to limit runs and allow the offense a chance to score. You as a pitcher are only half the game. Has anyone sat down with Matsuzaka and told him that he is way too hard on himself, currently he is number 2 in K’s in all of MLB. He has been as good or better than anyone expects him to be, and a loss is only half his fault. Perhaps in translation something is lost, but it seems that he is exceptionally hard on himself.

I would like to commend the work you do for ALS, as I am close with a Needham family whose mother is stricken with the disease (and yes you work with them personally). Do whatever you can to stay in Boston. You support the community and we support you.

I have to admit you are a compelling writer and offer an insight to the game I rarely see. The sports writers can be so subjective at times as you can see with the “was it blood or was it ketchup” nonsense. I’ll be back to read again, looking forward to seeing you guys in the playoffs.

Of course, it might just be that 2004 sticks in peoples minds… but I was under the impression the Red Sox usually hit Rivera much better than other teams.

You keep doing your thing bro. I’ll keep getting my enjoyment watching you pitch. Thanks for having the sack to stand up to these ingrates.

I pray that the media reports your challenge with as much fervor as they have when trying to discredit you or take shots.

You’ve got sack brother, well done.
