More nuggets are beginning to reveal themselves from Joe Torre's upcoming book, "The Yankee Years." The former manager believes that Mariano Rivera is to blame for the team's collapse against the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS. Torre, and co-author Tom Verducci, suggest it all turned on Rivera's misguided attempts to pick pinch-runner Dave Roberts off first near the end of Game 4 in Boston. Roberts, who came in to pinch run, was thought to be stiff and chill. But after Rivera repeatedly threw over to first base, "something unintended and important had happened ... Roberts' was now warm and his legs were loose. Rivera had done him a favor." Roberts would score the winning run and help Boston force a Game 5 in a series that the Red Sox would win with four straight victories.
