So sick of the Mariano talk

[HammerDown]

Anyone else so sick already of hearing the non-stop praise for Mo's "emotional goodbyes" to opposing fans? :rollseyes: Just go away already. If he had played for the Padres he'd have made a nice setup man for Trevor, the greatest closer of all time pound-for-pound with no pinstripes clouding the issue.

What?

Mariano- 206 ERA+, .998 WHIP, 2.21 ERA, 4.05 K/BB
Hoffman- 141 ERA+, 1.058 WHIP, 2.87 ERA, 3.69 K/BB

Rivera >>> Hoffman any way you slice it

"another'???

But I was told these guys don't hump/defend their guys like Brady fans do

 

[HammerDown]

Okay, forget I said anything about Trevor's obvious superiority and just answer my question. Anyone else sick of hearing about Mariano's "emotional goodbyes" with each opposing team he faces?

That's kind of like the whole Michael Young #leadership thing.

And he still won't have had as many "emotional goodbyes" as Brett Favre did.

Oh gaaaaaaawd, don't remind me of my murderous hatred for that douchebag. Just realized that I fucking LOVE Mo compared to Favre.

 

[Zig]

both cases people should be directing their anger/hatred at the media for beating us over the head with it, not the player. Toss Tebow in there too

 

[RobToxin]

No, Zig, with Favre it is definitely the player.

At least with Mo it's just one season of tearful goodbyes.

Not 4.

 

[HammerDown]

I'm not going to get started dishing out my hate for Favre, but that self-absorbed piece of human shit prolonged the agony for years. I don't hate Mo, I just hate all the talk of "emotional goodbyes." Every time I hear it, my eyes spontaneously roll. So freakin ridiculous. We as fans have seriously become pussified when we're fucking CRYING because an opposing player who's spent 20 fucking years trying to beat our team retires. So what that the second-best closer in the history of the game is retiring?

 

[HammerDown]

But Favre definitely puts Mo in perspective. Mariano is solid gold compared to that POS.

Mo is pretty classy. It's the fact that I hate the pinstripes he wears so much. I'll be glad when he's not trying to keep my team from scoring in the 9th anymore.

I'll never, if I live to be 100, be able to see past pinstripes. That hatred is a part of who I am. And I confronted those feelings when I lived in NYC for two years. I hate the Yankees. Period.

You and me both.

It'll be even worse if he changes his mind and comes back for another year.

At this pace, he just might!
