Just fucking brutal. I can't even look at those pictures of him on the ground. Shows what kind of guy he is that he is staying with the team since he feels like he let them down. There will never be another like him.

That was tough to watch him on the ground like that. It's tough to see him coming back...ACL at that age is going to be a brutal recovery. But if anyone can do it, this guy would.

I hear you. I'm obviously worried but I am holding out hope he'll be back. And in some cheesy way, if he isn't up for a full season grind, I hope the Yankees get him back on the mound one time at Yankee stadium to close out a game.

From a Boston blog....

From the people here, to the comments on Hardball Talk and Over the Monster, no one wants it to end like this. Not many people in sports have that much respect.

I honestly think at this point the only thing keeping Hughes from being moved into the 7th-inning role is the fact that Garcia was just horrendous so they need to keep him in the rotation. Maybe Mitchell will wind up having a nice year for them in relief and be a guy they use to get to Soriano and Robertson.

If I can share a little story:

In 2009, the Globe offered me this job and I was torn. I had worked for the same company (Gannett) since college and was loyal to them because they had treated me well. I also had so many great friends in New York. But I was from Massachusetts, my family all lives here and my dream since I was 14 was to work for the Globe. I never imagined in a million year that I would love living in New York.

I was torn for a few days, no sleep, asking everybody what they thought. It was hard. Mariano heard about it somehow and pulled me aside in the clubhouse.

"I hear you're thinking of leaving us," he said.

I explained my dilemma and he looked right at me, putting one hand on my shoulder.

"Look in your heart, you'll know what to do," he said.

I decided then I needed to go home or I would regret it forever. I told Mo how much he helped me the next day and he smiled.

Literally every time I've seen him since, he asks me how I'm doing in Boston and smiles. I'm really bummed that he's hurt. I've liked a lot of guys I've covered over the years. I've respected a lot of them. Mo is one of the small handful I've really admired.

The Red Sox - Yankees rivalry is so awesome. But I think even Sox fans are probably sad over this. You want to beat Mo's brains in on the field, not see him get hurt in BP.

Bad, bad day for baseball.

I agree, it's one thing to beat the Yankees as a Red Sox fan but it was a whole other deal to beat Mo as you call him. That was special because HE was special and i do apologize for misspelling his name in an earlier post.

Peace

For whatever it's worth. Bob Nightengale is reporting, via Reggie Jackson that Mo has always planned to pitch next year and that he probably still will.

I hope Reggie's saying that because Mo told him that and it's not just him assuming it.

Johnny Abruzzo · May 2012

Tough break guys - I actually just found out about this.

Hopefully he rehabs and comes back for a more appropriate exit.

He's the best closer ever, but losing him will still not effect your team's regular season all that much. Those guys simply don't have that much influence on W-L records. Playoffs are probably a different story.

He just said this to the best writers in KC:

"I'm coming back. Write it down in big letters. I'm not going out like this."
