Mariano Rivera, on blowing the save, Game 7 of the 2001 World Series!

“I have to believe that every pitch I throw is the right pitch and is a great pitch, and the next one will do the job. Always, always.” Rivera once told ESPN.com. “When I talk about the Lord, I’m not talking about praying to him for him to give you what you want. People always pray for something they want. He’s going to give you what you need. That doesn’t mean you’re going to win the game. It really has nothing to do with baseball.
