Is Leyland really going to have Mariano pitch the 8th? That's just dumb! Send out Nathan or Perk.
Guess he doesn't have the confidence in Nathan or Perk to hold the lead in the 8th and let Mariano get the save in the 9th.
Can't take the PR chance of having the NL come back and then Rivera doesn't make an Appearance out at all. Leyland would have to walk to their next Series.
Rivera should have come out in the bottom of the 9th inning, whether it's 3-0 or 18-0. Just plain stupid to come out in the 8th inning as Rivera made his living as a CLOSER, not a setup man. In the bottom 9th, Rivera would get the standing O's and cheers still and it would be a save situation or he would close out the game in a non-save situation depending on if the AL cashes in right now in the top9th.

What if Nathan gives up the lead & there is no 9th??????
worst case, if the 8th inning starting reliever gave up the go ahead run, then they could still have put Rivera in the 8th,
