Love Him or Hate Him, You Gotta Respect Mo's Comments...

Unless you've been living under a rock....or are a pink hat, by now you've read all about Joe West's ridiculous statement about Sox/Yankee games being too slow, and quote "embarrassing".

Well Mariano Rivera took it upon himself to fire back, essentially telling the fat umpire (who is consistently voted among the worst in the league) to sit down, shut up and put in a day's work like the rest of us....

“He has a job to do. He should do his job,” Rivera said. “We don’t want to play four-hour games but that’s what it takes. We respect and love the fans and do what we have to do and that’s play our game.”

Damn straight. Please accept their apologies that they're the best teams in the league and provide the highest TV ratings while entertaining the largest baseball markets in the league.

He's a joke. Save face and retire Joe West, no one respects you.

By no means am I saying I like Rivera. He's a Yankee, so that's against the rules. However I will say this, I continue respect the hell out of his talent and what he's proven on the field.....and now, I respect him even more as a result of that statement.....

If only Pap could have said it first.....but he would have fumbled the quote away and screwed up the punchline....
