UGh, Mo going down is a killer.
While it sucks for the team and the fans, I really feel for Mo.
You got the feeling this was going to be his last year, but he was going to go away on his terms and on top!
It will be sad if this injury ends his career, but will be sadder if he tries to come back and isn't the same.

I think Hughes needs to stay in the rotation.
If Tex and Cano don't start hitting, might as well call this a rebuilding year and it won't matter who's pitching or closing for that matter.

In happier news,
did anyone catch AJ Burnett's line from the other night?

2.2 IP 12H and 12 Earned runs
Your manager must really hate you if he leaves you in to give up 12 Earned runs!

I feel terrible for Mo. Honestly one of the best guys in sports. I've had the opportunity to meet him once and he was just the nicest guy. I do hope he can come back from this, because no player deserves to go out like that, specifically one of his caliber.

That being said, if a Met closer tore his ACL shagging fly balls, the jokes made at his expense would be limitless. So while I do feel terrible for Mo, I have absolutely zero sympathy for Yankee fans.

Shagging fly's is pretty common for pitchers around the league.
During BP the pitching staff works out in the outfield, they don't just sit around the clubhouse drinking beer and eating chicken.
Well they do on one team, but thats a story for another day.

Maybe he should have been in the clubhouse eating chicken; our chicken eaters are still playing and Mo is looking at working the card and memorabilia shows. He should do quite well, he was always a class act.
