Mike Mussina

So it's been a while since my last post so I figured I would post something.

It has been a nice summer so far, very eventful but almost over.

The Yankees had been playing so well until they met the O's. And now they have to face the the Angels, this is not going to be a good series for them. With that said they did win Mike Mussina's start today. Moose looked really good he encountered some trouble in the 2nd inning but was able to shut down the vaunted line-up of the Angels for the rest of the game. His final line was 7 innings pitched 2 hits no earned runs, five or six strikeouts, and all on an economical 90 or so pitches. In my opinion Girardi should have at least let him come out to start the eighth inning. It is amazing how he has totally rejuvenated his career this year. Last year I was one of the people shouting from the roof tops that he was done. This is me eating crow. Well done sir, I was totally wrong you can still pitch at 40. Moose is 14-7 on the year with a 3.44 ERA with eleven scheduled starts left he has a chance to do something he has never done before, win 20 games. I hope that Moose and the Yanks put themselves in position to make this possible. The team seems to be coming around as well and the front office seems to have a commitment to not only winning now but staying the course and building a team that could be great for years to come. I'm truly excited to see how this season turns out.

I recently discovered a website devoted to helping to make the argument for Moose to go to the Hall of Fame when he is all said and done. That website is Mussinahof.com, it is also linked at the right side under "Friends of The World as I see it." Everybody should go there and read about why Moose should be a HOFer.
