MO was pitching HURT! ESPN interview after the game.....

by t2kcru on Nov 5, 2009 8:54 AM EST

That heat pad wasn't to keep loose - it was because he was hurt! Obviously - he didn't want anyone outside the Yanks to know...and he pitched hurt last night! Just watch the candid interview on ESPN with Berman, Singleton, Gammons, and Winfield shortly after the clincher. Mo - can't say enough about him. Can't say enough about this team..... F anyone who says our team has no heart. 27 TIME WORLD SERIES CHAMPION NEW YORK YANKEES!!!!!

If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey

goes to show

It was weird, goes to show the caliber of pitcher he is. It is amazing how many ppl will trash the yanks, simply because they are the best in baseball and now world champs.

It blows me away

what Mo is able to do day in and day out, even when he is hurting. We take him for granted, all of baseball does really… he inspires me as a player and a person.

Of course the first words out of Gammons’ mouth are about the Arizona game.

Gammons just had to get a dig in there somehow. What a D-bag.

He was pitching hurt

On the MLB network he said it was a rib thing, but wouldn’t go into further detail. I did notice in Game 5 that he had a wrap on the right side of his torso while in the bullpen – maybe we caught a break that he didn’t get to save that game. Even more props to him for not dragging that out for drama purposes, a la Pedro and his “cold” (in Game 2) or the “flu” (in Game 6).

Yea the nerve of pedro...and gammons was quick to defend him..

“no no i spoke with pedro and he was sick, he said he just didnt have anything, he was sick”

Nobody know that, nobody said that… MO was hurt!!!

He is the best of all times of the times, and I hope his not retire to continues gifts us, their sublime art.

If Pedro was sooooo sick

Why didn’t they throw J.A. Happ? The dude has been lights out for most of the year and into the playoffs. I’d rather have a healthy if inexperienced rookie going than a “wily” veteran with an 86mph fastball. Seriously, I threw that hard in high school.

The more I watch Mo

the more I am convinced he isn’t actually a human. Few remember, but in that remarkable 2003 ALCS Game 7 where he threw 3 innings and got the win he had a blister on his right thumb, right where he holds the ball for the cutter.
