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

Goose Gossage現在61歲了，我想這樣的歲數大概差不多夠把這個名人堂救援投手轉變成為
一個壞脾氣的老頭，或者至少是個壞脾氣的中年男子。上個週末，Gossage告訴Newsday說
：Mo當然很棒啦，但是...
: "I think that these guys are so dominant in that one-inning role that

「我認為這些傢伙在那種『一局限定』的角色上表演得超棒，以至於他們忘記了我們之前
是怎麼玩的。」，前洋基隊終結者如是說，「可要花上三個現在這些傢伙來做我們以前的
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接著寫了一篇部落格，狠狠地刮了Goose一頓。我相當同意他在這裡寫的：
: 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.
「很明顯的是Goose這樣說真是貶損了自己。Goose Gossage是個偉大的投手，真正偉大的
投手。Goose Gossage是個名人堂球員，他家喻戶曉，他不需要到處告訴別人說他以前有
多屌，或是說他如何不像現在的投手那樣被使用。我認為他這樣搞把自己給弄廉價了，特
別是他利用備受愛載的Mo來達成效果。Mo是和藹的、有氣質的、恭敬的。Gossage
不應該將他作為道具。
: Posnanski then goes into a lengthy discussion of the careers of the two
: relievers and why Rivera is the greatest relief pitcher ever:
Posnanski接著針對兩個後援投手的生涯展開了長篇的討論，並且探討何以Mo是史上最
偉大的投手。
: 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
