Dear Ozzie

Just like with John Sterling, I doubt this will be the only post about you. Not unless you to decide to shut up once and for all. We can only wish.

What's with this stuff about having Mo close this year because it might be his last All-Star Game? To quote you:

Mariano Rivera is on the team, Mariano Rivera is my closer. It's not Bobby Jenks. Mariano Rivera is a [likely] Hall of Famer and this is maybe his last All-Star Game. What this guy has done in baseball, he should be my closer.

Yes, I do appreciate your recognition of Rivera and your decision not to favor your guy over the best closer in baseball history. Still, "this is maybe his last All-Star Game"? I don't see any appreciable drop-off in his game that would lead one to think he won't be on the top of his game next year. I suppose it's possible, but I sincerely doubt it. Just leave it at "What this guy has done in baseball, he should be my closer." That's all you need to say.

Sincerely,

Jon
