Rivera ready to rumble:
Mariano Rivera looked relaxed as he slouched on a black leather couch in the middle of the clubhouse yesterday afternoon, his eyes glued to the television.
Mel Stottlemyre saw his closer enjoying some down time, walked over to the couch, plopped himself down just inches away and smiled a somewhat devious smile.
"Ready to pitch four days in a row?" Stottlemyre asked, still smiling.
And Rivera didn't hesitate to answer. "Put it in the books," he said.

Chacon could work out of the bullpen this weekend if he is needed, or he could be held out in case New York is forced to play a one-game playoff on Monday.
"If they need me to pitch," Chacon said, "I'll be ready." ...
Mussina, who was on an pitch count of 80 in his first start back and about 100 in his second start, knows that there will be no such thing as a pitch count if the division crown is on the line.
"This is a playoff game," Mussina said. "There are no limits."
