Mariano Rivera by the numbers in 2005...

Hopefully this post jinxes the Yankee bastard!

In his first two appearances of the season -- against the Red Sox -- Rivera blew both saves, giving up 5 hits, 2 earned runs, 1 home run, and walked 3...

Since then?

44 appearances
46.1 IP
20 hits
3 ER
0 HR
8 BB

Are you kidding me? Only 8 walks, 3 ER, no HRs allowed, and 20 hits in 44 appearances?

Season numbers:

46 appearances
49.0 IP
25 hits
5 ER
1 HR
11 BB
0.92 ERA
0.73 WHIP

Fucking incredible...

Didn't anybody ever tell you that Sox fans aren't allowed to compliment Yankees?

Seriously, nice work though! He got the loss today in the rubber match with the Chisox!
