Wayne Coffey on Aug. 12 (not to be confused with today's 6-5 victory over the Angels):
"But make no mistake: this 6-5 victory over the Angels was not merely another fun day in the summer sun for a 71-45 team. This was a game that had to leave a ripe residue of concern, if not outright worry, no matter if anybody will admit it.
Because for the second straight time, Mariano Rivera came in and gave up a home run. For the third straight time, he came in and looked eminently hittable, even fragile."
Predictably, since this supposedly worrisome stretch of three whole games, Mariano has put up the following stats:11 games, 11 IP, 5 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 14 strikeouts, 10 saves, 0 blown saves.
