"In all, though, Mussina seemed encouraged."

That's what T-Kep tells us.

"In all, though, Mussina seemed encouraged."

Well, I'm encouraged. In fact, I'm smellin' Wild Card, 'cause the '07 Yanks are back!

1. Mussina gives up 4 in 5!

2. Jason E. Giambi flubs first play, plays another his clubfoot, later muffs foul.

3. Down by 5 in seventh, A-Rod clubs majestic 2-run blast!

4. Farnsworth emerges, inspiring Susyn speach about resurrection, then gives up three bangs -- hard single, smash that A-Rod turns into DP, then a triple off the wall by the speedy Lyle Overbay.

Differences between this year and last?

1. Some Swiss dork is about to turn on the Large Hadron Collider, creating a black hole that will turn all of Earth into the New York Knicks.

2. Britney Spears has emerged, inspiring TV ads about resurrection, on bad TV sitcom.

3. A week after visit from Dick Cheney, the Iraqis invade themselves, expecting to be greeted as liberators.

4. LaTroy Hawkins.

Same old, same old, I say.

Mussina is now, at best, a number 4 or 5 starter. He will not match up well all year to anyone else's number two ( well, maybe he will ).

3-4 earned runs in 5-6 innings will be his record, if we are lucky.

So Hughes and Kennedy must consistently be better than their opponent pitchers.

The vaunted Yankee line-up is still of little threat against a quality pitcher.

No playoffs this year , boys.

I'm headed down to Southern Mexico to work with Edwar. He is feeling a bit despondent after getting dumped, due to one pitch failure.

You can get AA hitters out with astraight fast ball ( 90-91 ) and a great chang-up. But not in the big leagues.

Particularly, when you can't get it where you want it.

See you in August.

How I Met Your Mother is a great sitcom.

Noted that Reggie was chatting up Hank in his private box last nite. Always disconcerting to see the ownership in attendance before Memorial Day. Could be a throwback to George's early years when bodies were swapped early and often.
