Mariano Rivera and the Case of the Spitball

I doubt there’s any Fox conspiracy.

Their baseball coverage makes me ill w/ the diff’t shots changing every 0.75 seconds.

Take 5 minutes of tonight’s game and count how many shots you see of fans in the stands, nonsense shots of the manager stroking his chin, ballpark vendors and self-promotion.

During that same 5 minutes, see if you can determine where the infielders are positioned.  Is the 1B holding the runner?  Is the infield in w/ 1 out a man on 3rd early in the game?  You won’t know because you’ll be watching the cast of "Bones" candidly enjoying a hot-dog in the front row.

And don’t get me started on McCarver…

Give me a break.  A spitter doesn’t go 90+mph, it’s a way to throw a change up.  Way to reach for excuses.

Padilla is putting a foreign substance on the ball with the Dodgers

wow what garbage this is… Looks like they cropped a few frames out that clearly show the spit passes by his hand….

Mariano does not need to doctor a ball. Let’s move on. Non-story.

There will be hour long shows on the History Channel about this clip.  I cannot wait.

Mariano Rivera is a New York Yankee baseball player and pitcher, he became even well known for spitting on the ball before he throws it. No one wants to ever defend a New York Yankee, but a Rivera’s spitball isn’t really likely.  Despite the fact that he plays for the most evil team in the MLB, a Rivera spitball isn’t likely, and his defeated opponents probably should stop whining.  Mariano Rivera is known as a stand up guy, a dedicated professional, and his numbers – they speak for themselves, and there aren’t many 39 year olds that still have a 90 mph plus fastball.  Once again – it is hard to defend the Yankees about anything, though while we’re at it – A Rod was on steroids!  Seriously – the Angels need a cash advance to find something to do, other than talk about a non-existent Rivera spitball.
