: Over the weekend, Gossage told Newsday that Mariano Rivera is certainly

Goose Gossage现在61岁了，我想这样的岁数大概差不多够把这个名人堂救援投手转变成为
一个坏脾气的老头，或者至少是个坏脾气的中年男子。上个周末，Gossage告诉Newsday说
：Mo当然很棒啦，但是...

“我认为这些家伙在那种‘一局限定’的角色上表演得超棒，以至于他们忘记了我们之前
是怎么玩的。”，前洋基队终结者如是说，“可要花上三个现在这些家伙来做我们以前的
工作呢”
: Joe Posnaski followed up with a blog post that, well, ripped the Goose a
: pretty good one. I do agree with what Joe wrote here:
Joe Posnaski接着写了一篇部落格，狠狠地刮了Goose一顿。我相当同意他在这里写的：
: The obvious reason is that it diminishes Goose Gossage to talk this way.
: Goose Gossage was a great pitcher. A truly great pitcher. Gossage is in the
: Hall of Fame, he's widely remembered, he does not need to go around telling
: people how great he was or how he wasn't used the way pitchers today are
: used. I think it cheapens him to do so, especially when he uses the beloved
: Mariano Rivera for effect. Rivera has been gracious and classy and
: respectful. Gossage shouldn't use him as a prop.
“很明显的是Goose这样说真是贬损了自己。Goose Gossage是个伟大的投手，真正伟大的
投手。Goose Gossage是个名人堂球员，他家喻户晓，他不需要到处告诉别人说他以前有
多屌，或是说他如何不像现在的投手那样被使用。我认为他这样搞把自己给弄廉价了，特
别是他利用备受爱载的Mo来达成效果。Mo是和蔼的、有气质的、恭敬的。Gossage
不应该将他作为道具。
: Posnanski then goes into a lengthy discussion of the careers of the two
: relievers and why Rivera is the greatest relief pitcher ever:
Posnanski接着针对两个后援投手的生涯展开了长篇的讨论，并且探讨何以Mo是史上最
伟大的投手。
: OK, do you see? Rivera was better. A lot better. He was better in cold
: numbers, and he was a lot better when you take into consideration the eras
: when they pitched. For Rivera to match Gossage in the basic numbers, he would
: have had to pitch 278 more innings
