So the fact that there is a counterpart in Mo should not trouble us. It takes all kinds. Mo = Good religion (thanks god for his talent)
Josh Hamilton = Bogus religion (makes god pick up his bar tab)

The Yankees’ tiller (in this era) has always been manned by Jeter, who we must assume is either atheist, agnostic or I don’t give a fuckist.

So the fact that there is a counterpart in Mo should not trouble us. It takes all kinds.

Jeter will be tears and cheers and memories but Mo retiring..I mean, it's like your Zen Master just suddenly saying "no, i won't make tea and teach you about nirvana every again". It's going to hurt!

True enough. I am bereft and appreciative at the same time. My great fear is that we will now be like those other teams with normal, fallible closers. I've enjoyed the exceptionalism. Yeah, I'm not high on Religion-speak. I respect his piety and all, but please keep it out of the media. Mo has been too extraordinary to take for granted. True enough.

We've appreciated him for a long time. We have not taken him for granted. We are fortunate to get a little bit more. Then he's just another guy. Maybe a nice guy, maybe not.

I've never felt he used it to distance himself from others that don't feel the same way. I wonder if that will change as he gets more and more non-baseball questions.
