More Quotes from Mariano Rivera:
I know I'm not 25 anymore, I can't use my arm the way I used to. I've been working out this winter, but not for my arm. Everyone who knows me knows that's the reason I start slow in spring training. I can't just pick up a ball anymore and start throwing like it's the middle of the season.Mariano Rivera
Definitely, I thought it was a strikeout, but you can't change that. That play is over, so you have to get the next guy.

Rivera threw Damon 10 pitches, all of them cut fastballs with the intent of breaking in toward the lefthanded hitter. I didn't want to give him anything so he can get a little blooper or something like that, ... I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Definitely, I wish the timing would have been different, a time when we didn't have to worry about spring training and we have been throwing already so you can participate for your country. But it isn't. It is what it is. It's too bad.

Like I said before, I can't stop. If I have to go two, I have to go two. That's the way it is. And tomorrow is going to be the big one, so if I have to go two, I will go two.
Mariano Rivera
I'm human -- all I do is try to do my job. When I don't do it, the way it happened today, it's out of my control. He put the ball in play and it happened to find a hole. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. You move on.
