There Hughes and Kennedy can soak in the lessons on pitching in particular and baseball in general that Mussina has taken to doling out. To make his young Paduan learners feel more at home, Mussina decorated the spare, gray cinderblock wall with a picture of a window looking out on a beach, and added curtains, a wall clock and a calendar.

Re Mussina:
Mussina, an 18-year veteran, requested that Hughes’ locker be moved into the near left corner of the clubhouse next to his own and Kennedy’s.

You aren't a quality starter and have no business pitching as the 3rd starter for the New York Yankees.

Take a look at the first 5 or so entries. They are all pro Mussina, saying that everyone is overreacting to his bad Spring outing. His Spring has nothing to do with my feelings for him. I saw him get torched by Anaheim and Detroit last season in the first inning. Then listened to him in the post games where he had no clue what to say. Thats the sign of someone who has completely lost it. A person who doesn't even know what to say about one bad outing after another. The guy throws 80mph fastballs. Yet everyone expects this guy to pitch every 5 days and be a #3 starter? If Jose Contrearas was deemed to be too unstable at 8M, that extra 3M that Mussina makes him too expensive to bench?

You say he pitched well in september last year? look at who he pitched against. Mike Mussina has been stealing money from the yankees for a long time. He has been paid A TON of money since 2001, and has only come up in big games a handful of times. The jeter Flip game. Relief in game 7 vs. boston in 2003. I can't really think of any other times he has pitched well. He has a horrible attitude, and wouldn't protect his teamates. Mike is SHOT. He is DUNZO. if he pitches .500 this season i will be impressed. I would be impressed barring staff injuries if he pitches into July. 18-1* Regarding Mike Mussina.
