Despite the Yankees losing today by a score of 3-2, You have to give a little bit of love to Yankees starting pitcher Mike Mussina for the season he’s been having this year.
Today, he gave up 2 earned runs in eight innings of work before Mariano Rivera gave up a rare home run to Jose Guillen to lose the game. Going into today’s game, he had an ERA of 4.01 and a WHIP of just 1.28. His curveball has been sharp and despite only topping out in the mid-80’s his fastball has movement, which makes it hard to hit.
Considering how bad the Yanks starting pitching has been so far, it’s a wonder that they are even around .500, and Moose is a huge part of that.
In other news, how much would it take to have Jose Guillen killed?
