Spit decision

The secret to Mariano Rivera’s cut fastball?

Yeah, probably not.

Still, Angels fans are up in arms over this clip (now in slow motion!), which appears to show the Yankees closer summoning ol’ Eddie Harris for inspiration. Today, the question in Angels Nation doesn’t seem to be, “Can the Angels rebound to win the ALCS?” but the all-important, “Did the spit land on the ball?”

You decide. Rivera does seem to contemplate his loogy for some time there.

Of course, there probably hasn’t been a loogy this talked about in New York since…well, this one:

Five hundred twenty-six saves, 36 postseason saves, four World Series titles. That, my friends, is one magic loogy.

Oh, and speaking of Rivera, guess what happened five years ago today.
