I just Tweeted about this, but I’ll mention here: Thanks to deft TiVo juggling, I somehow managed to get this deep into the postseason without seeing the new Joe Girardi/Mariano Rivera Taco Bell commercial — in which Rivera is called in from the bullpen (here, a table in the corner of Taco Bell) to help a customer finish his XXL Chalupa — until this morning.
Obviously the XXL Chalupa is notable, and I owe you a writeup about that and the two new taco sauces, all of which I hope to eat at some point today and discuss here early in the week.
But the real story here is that we now have documented evidence that the great Rivera has been in the perhaps equally great Taco Bell. It is a historic confluence of awesomeness on par with the time the Beatles met Muhammad Ali.

Just looked the video up on youtube and someone wrote in the comments “Giradi even overmanages in commercials”. I thought that was pretty funny.
Also, what are the Beatles and Ali doing in the picture? Singing? Yawning contest? Who’s to say
I don’t know, but it looks like they’re having a s@#$load of fun, which is pretty awesome.
Too bad Girardi is in the commercial. Rivera is of course awesome, but Girardi is a bit of a tool.
Did you eat the sauces at Taco Bell?
