It's a pattern for the whole season (not one specific game) that if it's a save situation, Mariano must be used. Other teams use their closers for about 80% of the team saves. Ours is basically 100%. It's like Joe's top priority is padding Mariano's save stats.

I agree with you, a lot of times Torre brings in Mo just because it's a chance to get a save. I hate that. I think it's lame to play for statistics like that. As if Mo having a couple fewer saves would make anybody think less of him.

Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox [team stats] fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night. The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: “Red Sox s*ck! Shelley Duncan.”

“It was cool to get his autograph,” Griffin said. “It didn’t make me feel happy when he wrote that.”

Griffin’s mother, Karen, blasted the Yankees slugger’s bad manners.

“This is someone who wears the Yankee uniform and is on the payroll and should be setting an example for 10-year-olds,” she said.

Duncan, son of St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, has become a fan favorite in the Bronx for hitting mammoth home runs since he was called up from the minors in July.

Yesterday afternoon, a Yankee spokesman declined to comment until he got a chance to speak to Duncan.
