Like most Yankees individually, I have a lot of respect for Mike Mussina who may have pitched his worst game in his worst year last night:
Mussina lasted one and two-thirds innings, giving up seven runs. At the outset, Mussina could not throw strikes. Then he started throwing strikes and got bludgeoned.
The Red Sox won but, as portland would note, it was only the Rays. You sit there and think “don’t put in Gagne” – then you wonder when they are ever going to put him in. Willi Mo’s player to be named later has never played in the majors.
And, yes, the Angels are clearly so much better than either the Sox or the Yankees.
