"And I don't want to sound cynical, because it's not my nature, but what is Plan B if Mo Rivera finally does begin to show his age this season?"
First of all, you should have asked all the people waiting in line for Mets tickets the same question about B-Wags, El Duque, Glavine, and Alou.
Secondly, be a man and admit that you've questioned Mariano every single (pre) season since 1996.
Mike Lupica, supposedly acclaimed baseball writer for the New York Daily News, had a big theory after the 2001 World Series that Mariano Rivera was not going to be able to mentally recover from the loss to the Diamondbacks.
Eventually, Mike Lupica will be proven correct.
Eventually, Mariano Rivera will either become an ineffective pitcher or retire from professional baseball.
When this happens, the esteemed Mr. Lupica will finally be able to say, "I told ya so!"
