Exhibit A under These Are the Games They Have To Win.
Right now, given all that Rivera has done for the team, it seems almost unfair to expect so much from him, again. But late leads in low-scoring games cannot be squandered.
And while the Unit sorts out his business and Chacon gets better, the Yanks will come to rely more and more on Moose, Wang, and Wright to, as they say, bridge the gap. The Yankees bullpen (sans Mo--sans the Sandman?) is like a small forward with a great jump shot who can neither dribble nor defend: you'll see moments of brilliance, but don't ask these guys to dominate. Farnsworth, Myers, Proctor: passable, just not Nelson, Stanton, Mendoza.

I have to admit, when Mo came in last night, I felt as if someone had wrapped a security blanket around the game. It was like old times.
My take on the bullpen:limit Farnsworth to one inning,do not use Proctor everyday and use Myers in those select lefty on lefty situations. And...an occasional rainout would help.
