8.06-seconds ICHI-WAWA! The Master breaks 8.00, blowing an historic Walkoff WinWarble

Behold: Sacrifice! Rapture! Perfect Modulation! A human being pushes himself to the edge of physical anguish, hoping to inspire his team!

Don't talk to me about Edward R. Murrow! Don't tell me about Walter Cronkite! Neither man could articulate a RIBBIE from ROBBIE! And only one person beyond the area code known as Kate Smith could blow an 8.06 WinWarble - inspired by the heroism of the incredible Ichiro Suzuki - and his name is Sterling.

Question: have Mo's skills deteriorated this badly, is he just a tired 43 year old who doesn't have the gas this time of year, or has he checked out mentally and his head is in one of the new churches he's going to build?

Of course, Mo would tell you that whatever is happening is the Lord's will. But what's REALLY going on?

I think he's been hurting for a while. This is the first in several seasons when he didn't go down for a few weeks. Nothing lasts forever.

I don't want him to change his mind. I hope he changes his name... to Larry Rothschild.

Mo is such a freak of nature. When he dies, he belongs in the Smithsonian, like Seabiscuit.
