The Yanks have the best record in baseball at the break. Alex Rodriguez is in decline, Russell Martin has suffered through his worst offensive season but first place is first place. So, what’s missing?
Mo, of course.
Here’s an article on Mariano by Joel Sherman in today’s New York Post.
Rafael Soriano has pitched well since Rivera went down. But if you think that’s going to continue indefinitely I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you…

A good portion of my detachment from this season is because Mo's not there; mainly because of the way it happened. It would have been different if he decided to call it a career; I'd be shocked, but happy for him. This was more of a "why?" thing that can never be answered. I know a little something about those kind of questions, and they just never leave your mind even when you say they do. Nevertheless, I stand behind the Yanks because they're my team. What else can I do?
[1] Well said. I'm opposed to so many things the Yankee organization does but I stick with them. They're my team, good or bad!
Mo will be back, zero doubt.
