Yankees pitchers Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina pitch in minor league game
2008-03-18 21:38:00
Yankees pitchers Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina sailed through minor league starts Tuesday. Rivera worked two perfect innings, striking out four, in a Double-A game. The closer threw 16 of his 23 pitches for strikes. “I feel good,” Rivera said. “I was just working the strike zone.” Rivera didn’t rule out another two-inning stint before ...

THEO EPSTEIN VS. MIKE MUSSINA COCKFIGHTING DEATHMATCH
2008-02-29 09:22:00
With Theo Epstein and Mike Mussina exchanging words, now is the perfect time to revisit this banned ESPN baseball commercial. Deadspin posted this video back in 2006, and it’s standing the test of time.. The New York/Boston hatefest has been pushed to a new level thanks to Super Bowl XLII, and MLBers such as Pedro Martinez and Aramis Ramirez love cockfighting… As far as the fight goes, my money’s on Epstein. He’s a little scrappy guy and a go getter. He’ll put on a gorilla suit if he has to. Mike Mussina would approach the fight with the best intentions, but would only be able to throw a punch or two before going down with an injury.

The Wheels Come Off For Mike Mussina. But Will Kennedy Be Any Better?
2007-08-30 15:04:00
Mussina has been besieged by a perfect storm of misfortune and performance. As a Yankees fan it is simply killing me to watch Mussina get lit up. 19 ER in 9.2 IP while trying to snare the Wild Card will not endear him to Yankee fans. How has he fallen so far? After a surprisingly good 2006 (at least in my mind) he has regressed in his fortunes as well as his performance. To date he is 8-10

The Mike Mussina Era
2007-08-30 00:41:00
Moose thrive in cold temperatures, which makes sense given that Mike Mussina's relationship with Yankees fans has always been somewhere between chilly and Arctic. At the age of 38, Mussina's time as a productive big-league pitcher appears finished. He has one year remaining on his contract, so the

MLB News From Yesterday - Twins, Chase Utley, Mike Mussina, Brian Wilson
2007-08-28 17:41:00
Anyone see the Twins' Mauer-less line-up last night? Mike Redmond, Jason Tyner and Nick Punto batted 7th through 9th with Alexi Casilla and Jason Bartlett batting one and two. Twins' GM Terry Ryan has plaudits raining down upon him, but isn't that 5/9s of a line-up an example of dereliction of GM duty? Isn't that worse than what Astros' GM Tim Purpura put out there? Chase Utley went 3-5, hit his 18th HR and 42nd double, and drove in his 84th run in his return from a broken hand. With more than a month to go, the four weeks he missed will have absolutely no effect on his status as the elite 2B in baseball and as a mid-1st round pick in fantasy drafts in 2008. The Yankees gave Mike Mussina a two-year/$23MM contract, and he appears to be done as a rotation mainstay. What makes it worse is the Average Annual Value is more than the disaster of a contract the Yankees gave Carl Pavano who may help the Yankees more in 2008 by not pitching than Mussina will...

Wang Keeps Up The Momentum
2007-06-07 15:24:00
Chien-Ming Wang gave the Yankees exactly what they needed facing the White Sox Wednesday night. Not only did he pitch well, he pitched a one run complete game. He looked like the Wang we all came to know and love when he started as a rookie, all the way up until his name started to be mentioned in the same sentence as Cy Young's last season. The Yankees need momentum. As this writer mentioned in his previous column, quoting the old baseball adage that in baseball, momentum ends with the next day's pitcher, then Yankee fans have every reason to be nervous with Mike Mussina scheduled to take the mound against the White Sox Thursday night in Chicago. Without going on a rant, this writer will just state that he has very little confidence that Mussina will give a good performance. There's no need to compile stats when offering up the observation that Mussina pitches well until he decides its okay to give up a home run or two. His game will sometimes fall apart after that. This season,...

NY Yankees: Hey Moose, Buy A Clue!
2007-05-23 16:34:00
Apparently Mike Mussina didn't get the memo. The New York Yankees are trying to battle their way out of a deep hole in the American League East and win their division. Yes, that is a tall order, and if the level of determination they showed on both Sunday and Monday indicated that they were serious about becoming contenders, all of that was lost on the "Moose."As reported by Kat O'Brien in the Wednesday, May 23, 2007 edition of Newsday, "Mussina has never really gotten on track this season, and he did not do so last night. He gave up six runs in four innings in his first start of the year, then strained his hamstring in his next outing. Once he came off the disabled list, he had two decent games before reverting to inconsistency in his last two." Mussina is quoted as saying: "I felt like my arm had some life the first two," Mussina said. "I haven't felt like I had that life the last two." Not for nothing, if you don't feel like you can pitch before a game, then don't.If the Yan...

Is Mike Mussina headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame? C
2007-01-13 14:14:01
Is Mike Mussina headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame? Currently 37 with 239 wins. Over the past three seasons Mussina has averaged roughly 13 wins per season. With 61 to go, Mike would need to pitch another four and a half seasons at his current level of production to attain 300 career victories. Mike?s innings have been cut in recent seasons, but 2006 was his best season in years, tossing 197 IP, winning 15 games, placing ninth in AL K/9, and ranking third in AL Whip (1.10). Playing in New York clearly gives him an added ?rub?, and this if he had spent the early portion of his career in New York as opposed to Baltimore he might be on the fast track. Eight times Mussina has placed in the top six in Cy Young voting, with a runner-up position in 1999 being the highlight. But he has never won 20 games in a season and has strangely only been on four all-star team rosters. He has a great adjusted ERA rank (65th all-time), but anything that is even remotley close to a saber...
