HAHAHAHAHA! good find peter, steinbrenner is OWNED!
Wow great find Peter
very nice pete.
i think we all know muss is done, only some of us will admit it though.
YEAH~
IT’S AN UNTOLD SECRET.
Oh Pete — lmao
Joe Morgan is we-todd-did,,,says the yankees will fall to boston bc they have young pitching,, what about boston?

Jor Morgan is a genius
*Joe Morgan is a genius
Yeah I don’t agree with what Joe Morgan said. If you really want to look at the young pitchers on both teams, the Yankees have the only one who is close to a lock… Joba Chamberlain. He might not be in the rotation yet, but when he is, the Boston top 3 starters look mighty pathetic next to the Yankees top 3. And meanwhile if Beckett keeps missing starts for the Red Sox or is out for an extending period of time then that rotation will crumble to the ground because Daisuke Matsuzaka is nothing close to a number one starter let alone a number 2.
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think Moose has been that bad this season.
If you take away the four ABs against Manny Ramirez (3 HRs and the controversial 2B) - everybody would be talking about how good Moose has looked this season.
Of course, you can’t take away ABs and I’m not going to get on Moose’s case because he can’t get out one of the top 5 hitters of our generation.
A lot of pitchers have had bad days against Manny Ramirez.
Good stat Pete, but let’s be honest, 8 years ago George Steinbrenner did the same by saying weird statements and no one (players) answered back like Mussina did, and don’t you think Hank is right that Mussina gotta find a way to pitch good even with an 86mph fastball?
Jamie Moyer is just an example, how about Glavine, Pedro, Schilling, Clemens, Trachsel, etc.
By the way don’t you media love statements from the Steinbrenners? it gets you stuff for a week with weird front page headlines.
what I mean to say is that Hank is absolutely right, Mussina has to earn his stripes and his monthly pay-check or he can sign with the Pitsburg Pirates next year as a free agent.
I think we just all wish Moose could be the Moose of old and I’m not sure he can do that anymore…tonight he’ll face another test…let’s see how he does…Go Moose!
Someone needs to also tell Hank that Boston needs a Wang, they don’t have one.
CMW, faster to 50 wins than Beckett.
Mr. Hank:
This is the Josh Beckett (2006 version) that you ordered,
Please sign your name here.
Thank You
It’s remarkable that Tanyon Sturtze is up there considering his much more limited career. Remember when he was one of Torre’s go-to guys?
Jeremy,
I believe Sturtz was a stater for a few years with the Rays before coming to the Yankees, so I’m sure that accounts for some of the homers.
that was funny, Pete.
Brian, Sturtze was a starter for the Rays for two seasons. He’s pitched about 800 innings in his career, and he was not on an AL East team for about 100 of those innings.
Mussina has pitched about 3400 innings so far, all for AL East teams.
The moral is that Sturtze is a really terrible pitcher.
I like C.M. Wang, but I’d trade him for Beckett in a New York Minute. He has carried two different teams to World Series victories.
Ahh, this stuff is just too good.
Haha.
Peter, you are on the ball with this stuff. I love it.
I said the exact same thing when I heard Hanks comments.
(2008)
Mussina - K/9 - 3.10 (20.1 IP)
Moyer - K/9 - 3.05 (20.2 IP)
Eeck what a decline by Mussina
great points Guiseppe
also, people look at ERA way too much. manny inflated mooses. moose has a much better WHIP than moyer so far this year. who is comparable to manny or the red-sox as a team that moyer has faced so far? twice?
