Posted by: Patrick
Steve Serby has a good, long interview with Derek Jeter.
Meanwhile, Peter Abraham has an interview with Mo, asking questions suggested by readers of his blog.
Funny thing, this actually crossed my mind last night as I watched K-Rod scream at the sky after he finished the game. It looked like he was none too pleased with the sky. And, honestly, the thought crossed my mind "I'm glad Mo doesn't do that." A fist pump, cool. But, all of that stuff... whatever.
Q: Jorge told me recently that you asked his wife, Laura, to fix you up?
A: She’s always telling me that she hopes I find someone soon, so I told her, “Don’t be afraid to hook me up.”
Q: Has she yet?
A: No, not yet; still waiting.
Q: Does your cologne help you with the ladies?
A: (Laugh) Apparently not ... ’cause I’m going to Jorge’s wife, right?

Seth: There are other closers that are extremely excitable like K-Rod and Papelbon. You’re more calm. What do you think is better?
Mariano Rivera: “Well, i don’t know, everybody has their own thing. I think it works for them … but personally I don’t like it. Personally I don’t like it. Personally, I like to give the respect to every hitter. Because every hitter feels like they’re insulted when they do all that kind of stuff. That’s their business and I do not care. But I prefer to stay the way I am.”
