    He got out of a huge jam in the 8th. Then gave up 2 classic Mo hits, a weak little blooper and a quick grounder through the hole. Only the double was hit hard.

    Plus, what did he do after 2nd and 3rd no outs? He dominated as usual. Overall, great performance.

    The tying run was on second with NO outs... I repeat NO outs. NO one else scored. All closers get into trouble sometimes (Putz gave up a Grand Slam last night), but the BEST ones get out of trouble.

    While watching outings like todays is brutal, you are correct sir and Mo remains unquestionably THE man.

    Thank you Jimmy. You also left out that the last 3 hitters didn't stand a chance and didn't do anything because Mo buckled down.

    Also, the first hit was a lucky little bloop (as are most of the hits off of Mo).

    If Farnsworth or Brower would have pitched exactly like Mo did today they would be getting buried right now. Mo deserves a pass from criticism because of his track record, but in no way does he deserve a TH for today.
