    One of the greatest ever, I'll be sad to see him go. I don't hope he closes out his career with a title for obvious reasons but it would be a fitting end for him if he did. Striking out the side in the 9th to win his 6th ring.

    That would be so cool on so many levels. He is a true legend and it will be a sad day for baseball the day he hangs his hat.

    I'm glad to see him go only because I don't want him saving games for the Yankees. I've like him since he tipped his cap to a standing ovation at Fenway after blowing those games in the '04 ALCS. Class act and great pitcher, but I still don't understand how he got outs for that long with one pitch at one speed. It's a mystery to me.

    That's a really cool video. I just don't remember him throwing enough fastballs to create that uncertainty. It seems like everytime I see him it's cutter at 94 over and over. Though I do usually only see him against the Sox so that might have something to do with it.
