Win-save combination for Pettitte and Rivera, now 67 regular season, 77 total.
Today's
4-3 win for the Yankees at the stadium (6/11) was the 67th regular season win-save tandem for Pettitte and Rivera.
May 26, 2010 was their 66th regular season win-save combination.
4/19/10 NY Post article notes 65th reg. season combo on 4/18/10.
- The two also have 10 post season win-save combos.
- The YES Network's studio guy mentioned today's 67th win-save combo for Pettitte and Rivera but failed to mention the pair's hard fought and earned 10 post season win-saves. If you write to the YES Network about this tossing in the dustbin of an important part of a long career, misleading viewers, they will tell you it's the customary way of doing things. Which is why I consider the YES Network a kindred spirit of ESPN and MLB and rarely watch any of them. As I've said elsewhere, I like SNY's presentation (the Mets channel).
Pettitte and Rivera's 10 post season win-save combos:
(8 of the above were multi-inning appearances for Rivera. Honorable Mention: The "Bugs" Game, Game 2, 2007 ALDS, NYY @ Cleveland. Pettitte and Rivera appeared together in other post season games that didn't have the exact technical requirements for a win-save combo).

Mo could've been a Hall of Fame center fielder-Teixeira
and stamp the last out of the afternoon, wasn't about to downplay what he'd seen.
- I think anyone would tell you that.
You should see him in pregame, catching fly balls in the outfield. You should see him run and work out. This guy, if he'd decided 20 years ago to be a center fielder,

Mo on Jim Joyce, Peter Gammons on Mo
6/3, Baseball Ink on Jim Joyce:
- even Mariano Rivera (yesterday) called him
he’s known for having a very sharp eye/ear in identifying correct calls on plays that
broadcasters have to look at a dozen times on replays.
Joyce’s incorrect call was not idiocy. No. Idiocy would have been “Hey, screw you all. I made the call and I stand by it. The guy was safe.” In fact he exhibited great class in very quickly admitting he was wrong. Given, umpires get calls wrong in pretty much every game; it’s a difficult career path for a perfectionist and Joyce is as close as the game has to one."..."What would Joyce do?" ****
"At a time when we are besieged by extremist, take-the-low-road differences of opinion and voices that feel the need to scream obscenities, Joyce, Galarraga and Leyland demonstrated the best of instincts. In the end, they reminded everyone young and old
