With a season full of flash bulbs and ceremonial balls Mike Mussina takes his own grab at history as well. Although it may not be as prestigious as a 300th win or a membership in the 500 home run club, but what he did Saturday at Jacobs Field against the Indians can't be overlooked.

Eric Gagne got torched last night and the Red Sox lost. Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain were dominant and the Yankees won. That means the Bombers are tied for the wild-card lead and just 5 games back of Boston. It's a great day to be a Yankee fan!

According to radio reports mentioned on SoSH, the Red Sox have re-acquired Doug Mirabelli for, possibly, Rudy Seanez and/ or Josh Bard. No official confirmation yet.
