It's hard to believe that a guy as calm and mentally tough as Rivera would let the pressure of playing the Sox get to him, but it's a possibility.

Yep, he still had an amazing 1.94 ERA last year. But it seems he's lost a few mph off that fastball, and his cutter just isn't cutting like it used to.

He needs a save tomorrow in the worst way. ....for his confidence.

And he's going to get his chance right now -- Bottom of the 9th, Yanks lead 3 - 2.

The crowd didn't take too kindly to Jeter getting beaned by Timlin. Unintentional, but there will be revenge (although probably not in this game).

Tino coming through with the game-tying HR was outstanding.
