Mr. Almost

When hearing of "Stanford University," most people think of Ted Danson, Condoleezza Rice or $10 bags of really fine weed.

*
Yankee fans think of their great hurler, Mike Mussina... "Mister Almost!"
*
He once almost pitched a perfect game.
*
He twice almost won 20 games in a season.
*
Three times, he almost won a World Series ring.
*
Once, he almost won the Cy Young Award.
*
Someday, he will almost make the Hall of Fame.
*
Hats off to "Moose!"
*
Always, Yankee fans are almost glad we have him!

Dear Mr. Torre;

And the Yankees will "almost " make it to the playoffs this year.

Moose will " almost " be 12-12 and " almost " win that crucial game against the Red sox.

He is now regarded as a pitcher with "almost" quality stuff, now minus the knuckle-curve.

He is "almost" good enough to be a number 5 starter on a team that averages 9 runs a game.

He has " almost " earned a ticket back to that small town in Pennsylvania, from which he came.

He will be happy when he is back playing horseshoes, where "almost" actually can matter.
