Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Goodbye And Thanks

There really isn't much for me to say about Mariano Rivera's last game at Yankee Stadium. The scene in the ninth inning with Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte coming out to making the pitching change, Rivera breaking down on the mound and the Bronx crowd showering the greatest closer of all time with love, speaks for itself. As someone who has been a Yankee fan since the early '80s, this was the greatest non-World Series moment I've ever seen.

Picture Of The Day
I really don't want to continue this thing with Braves fans from Thurday's A.M. Hot Clicks, which has generated e-mails like this one from Keith Chambers, of Licking, Mo.: "How ironic you put the true class of Todd Helton (shown when he hits his home run he RUNS THE BASES LIKE THEY SHOULD BE) and then your [c-word]-like pissiness of Brian McCann standing up for his team against one of your [f-word]-buddy boyz showing what a true [a-word] he is. Try showing just LLOD in your columns so you won't embarrass yourself with your mindless, moronic comments you [f-word] turd!!!"
I had no idea I was such a fan of Carlos Gomez that he was one of my "boyz." Also, I can't help myself and I must post this.
