Mariano Rivera: Talk of His Demise Is Premature and Predictable

So the greatest relief pitcher in the history of mankind is human after all.
Who knew?
Over his past three appearances, 41-year-old Mariano Rivera has made some bad pitches and gotten hit.
As predictable as saying “it might snow in December,” the lunatics have come out of the woodwork and started spouting nonsense.
“Rivera’s done!”
Oh really.
We’ve been hearing the same reactionary ramblings since 2001, when a then-31-year-old Rivera was unable to finish the job against Luis Gonzalez and the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series.
