Not bad, just passable

I guess we'll just have to settle for 161-1. That seems to be right around what Mike Mussina is going to produce this year. Some nights will be better, some worse, but as long as he can be consistent and offer the Yanks six innings and four runs per start they'll win a majority of his starts. That's all they need from him is consistency. Can some one explain to me the Captain's new found affection for the double play? Last season he grounds into a career high 21 plus three more rally killers in the Division Series and now last night he already chalks one up. I know it's a bit of an overreaction, but he is getting old and it just shows a little more now than two or three years ago. Things like that or his base running blunder in the fourth inning are just not typical Jeter mistakes.

Anyway, game #3 today with the Phil Franchise getting the call against Toronto's version of the future Dustin McGowan. Hopefully Hughes will get a little vengeance for his MLB debut against the Jays last April.
