Moose
Our buddy Yanni shot out an email yesterday with an interesting article on John Feinstein's new book "Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember," on Moose and Glavine's 2007 season. What ensued was the email recipients launching into...

Featured Yankee Card of the Week: Mike Mussina

World_series_gm1_51ac
If you didn’t hear, Mike Mussina was in the news last week as CC Sabathia attempted to duplicated Mussina’s 20-win season. Sabathia missed out on 20 wins, and Mussina remained the last Yankee to reach that feat for at least one more year. Here’s what the Moose had to say: "...

Mussina Appreciates Chance to Prove He Can Still Pitch

"There are a lot of other people out there with a lot of other ideas. I appreciate Joe coming in, starting new, and giving me the opportunity to get back out there and do what I've been doing," [Mussina] said yesterday after pitching two innings in an intrasquad game at Legends Field.

Mussina Hung 'em Up at the Perfect Time

On the mound, Mike Mussina didn't show much emotion. He never had the fire or flare of a superstar, and never struck most Yankee fans as the type of stopper they expected to have for a guy making $19 mil a year in the final seasons of his then-monster contract. Perhaps it's the [...]

Great Moose Article

Woke up a little early this morning and came across this article on SI.com by John Donovan. It's a great article about Mike Mussina and his tenure in pinstripes. If you're a Moose fan, or are a baseball fan that doubts just how good Moose really is/was (hey it's still not...

Mussina Is Reason To Watch Yankees

The Yankees are in forth place. Their season is over and the focus is turning away from this season, but there is still one more reason to watch. Mike Mussina. That's because he has quietly been putting together a great season and what a story it would be if at the age of 39 he finally [...]

Return of the Ice Cream

Ice-cream-cone
Mike Mussina made a deal with Joe Girardi that if he got 10 wins the ice cream could return to the clubhouse. Moose won that 10th game when he was on the road and now that the Yankees are back home he can enjoy. Once he reaches 12 wins the doughnuts return and at 15 the candy comes back.

Mike Mussina Speaks the Truth, People Hate Him For It

"We were up 3-0 and Mo (Rivera) came in again with the lead and lost it. He lost it again. As great as he is, and it's amazing what he does, if you start the evaluation again since I got here, he has accomplished nothing in comparison to what he accomplished in the four years...

‘Kudos & Wet Willies,’ season-ending edition

The season is over for the New York Yankees, and it's time to review the damages. If you read my football site, Big Blue View, you know that means it's time for a season-ending 'Kudos & Wet Willies,' assessing the best and worst of the 2008 Yankees. So, here we...

Mussina Moving to Queens?

Mike Mussina, who has pitched with the Yankees since 2001, may be on his way out of the Bronx, but not out of New York. Veteran pitchers have always had success pitching in the National League because of weaker lineups, and Mussina might intrigue some teams because of it. The Mets...

The Kennedy Clan Comes To The Bronx

Mike Mussina's out! Ian Kennedy will make his Major League debut this weekend against the Devil Rays. I really don't know anything about Kennedy, aside from the fact that he's highly touted by the Yankees. But the fact that they're going with Kennedy over Kei Igawa...

Yankees are at a crossroads

The New York Yankees seem to have their pitching straightened out. Chien Ming-Wang and Mike Mussina are back from injuries. Matt DeSalvo and Darrell Rasner look capable. Roger Clemens will arrive soon, and Phil Hughes will be healthy again in a few weeks. The Yankees, though, seem...

Playoff Reflections, Day Six; Torre on the Chopping Block, Red Sox/Indians

For most of us, baseball is just a game; for others, it's more than that. Well, today Joe Torre's job is on the chopping block as the New York Yankees lost 6-4 last night to the Cleveland Indians. In a game which looked much closer than it actually was, the Yankee bats fell...

MLB Catch The Fever Commercial Chock Full Of 1993ness

This isn’t as enjoyable as the commercial I unearthed last week, but it has it’s moments, like Mike Mussina and his overly excited, fever inducing eyebrows. Also, if anyone out there can identify the rap/R&B group featured in the video (and pictured below), it would greatlyâ€...

(Again) Making the case for Bert Blyleven

Yesterday I got a quite informative look at former pitcher Bert Blyleven. As many of you may know Blyleven has been kept out of the Hall of Fame largely due to not winning 300 games. To begin to tell you how silly this notion is let
