The Steinbrenner Magic
It looks like Hank Steinbrenner's rant about Mussina needing to pitch like Moyer turned out to be very effective. Mussina goes six innings this afternoon, allowing just one run. In his last three starts he's pitched eighteen innings, allowed five runs, walked two and struck out ten. That works out to a 2.50 ERA, more than adequate for a fourth or fifth starter, and perfectly fine for a number three.
The Yankees lead 6-1 in the seventh. Damon's accounted for a lot of the offense with two doubles and a home run.

Dave,
That's actually more than fine for a No. 2 starter (I'm a long fan of the Moose, but I don't think he's a No. 2 anymore, though...).
