Plenty of you kids out there only have memories of Mike Mussina as a Yankee and only sort of know that he was originally with Baltimore. But he was, and he was great there and I hated him. Not quite as much as I hated Roger Clemens, of course, but players as great as the [...]

Big Boats and Old Timers
I had a busy baseball weekend. After getting home later than expected on Friday night, thanks to the hour long rain delay I went home and got a few hours sleep than ran over to Staten Island in the morning for their mini Old Timer’s day which is a nice and cute thing, wasted a [...]
Mussina Ads In The Papers
The Yankees took out two ads thanking Mike Mussina for his time with the team today, both full page. One was in the Daily News and the other in the New York Times. I bought them just for the ads, because that’s what fans do. Newspaper is really hard to scan in or take decent [...]

Secondly Hal is officially in charge of the team now. No surprise that Hank isn’t the “official” owner given that he can’t even be bothered [...]
2009 Reflection Part 2: The Good Stuff
Joba Chamberlain Is Pretty Good – Everyone knew Joba was good coming out of the bullpen, which of course led to a lot of stupid arguments saying he should stay there. Well guess what, he was pretty damn good starting games too (which was not really a surprise). His twelve starts were varied but they [...]
The Dream Stays Alive
Well, the Moose won his 19th game of the night going five innings, allowing 4 hits and striking out 6 (including one swinging, wowie!). He got hit in the arm with a linedrive in the third inning but managed to go two more before they took him out of the game.
There was some bullpen [...]
