The Evil Empire:
On Mo:
Mariano had his first batting practice session today. He threw 30 pitches and will throw another session on Saturday before he makes his first appearance in a game next week.
More info from the AP:
"All I have to do is get more fine pitching," Rivera said. "The shoulder feels good. I'm happy with it. It's getting stronger every time I throw. It feels better and better."
Rivera threw at about 90 percent. The right-hander has "no doubt" he will be ready for opening day.
"He left me a message," Joe Girardi said today. "He sounded good. Said: 'I'm doing well.' Good to hear from him."
