Enter Sandman

The first few bars of the Metallica tune always provides me with an intense sense of calm because I know what's about to run out from the bullpen. Mariano Rivera earned his 400th save today. As Jeter said post game, "He's arguably the best closer ever."

So congratulations, Mariano, you've had a helluva week. Congrats on saving the AL's win in the All Star Game on Wednesday. Congrats on opening your restaurant Thursday. And congrats on the incredible record met today.

PS - Due to the Yanks sweeping the White Sox (who play in the fiercest division in baseball) and Bosox blowing their series in typical style, the Bombers are now only a half game back. I'm already anticipating a dramatic Subway World Series.
