My fellow Yankee-loving buddy Dave and I have decided that they should let Mike Mussina start every game the rest of the way to try to get his 20th win. Why not; as I said HERE he's been the only thing of even remote interest this season.

i remember it well: moose sucks! you wouldve given him back to the os last yr for 50yo rick dempsey.
i stand by my thoughts a year ago. a year ago, he was terrible. a 38 year-old dude who couldnt make the rotation. i dont think it makes me crazy to think what I did; do you think i was the only person in the world who thought that? i wouldve shipped him out in a heartbeat if he wasnt already signed up, and I would guess more than a few Yankee coaches woulda thought the same.
now its a year later, he's done great, and deserves a standing O. which ive given him. twice!
dude was 11-10 with a 5.15 era last year. bad, but not terrible. good enough for 4th starter on most al teams. (what are ponsons career numbers?) that he was pilloried and sent down was the height of yankee self-importance/lunacy. hes a borderline hof! if theres a reason for cashman to be fired its because he was nuts re the value of his own homegrown pitchers. mussina will walk this yr, he proved to the yanks he can still pitch (a big fuck yewww). i hope hell consider the os at 3 more yrs, but dont doubt hell retire.
(i know i know, hell take less money to come back to the yanks.)
[we need to revisit big pappy post-manny. we need closure on that argument.]
if its Oct 1 2007, I'm saying bye bye to Moose if I can. period. he came back had a great year, great! it only helps me, cause he's on my team. im happy for him!
but im sorry, i cannot take you seriously re: moose. he's your boy, he'll always be an Oriole to you, he can go 1-21 next year and youll be screaming "we'll take him!!" hey i understand; I still vote Jeff Lamp as my favorite Laker of All Time every year.
and you lost the papi debate when JD Drew won player of the month hitting in front of Manny.
frandog finally said what i was saying for years: the Yankee fan votes Manny, the Yankee hater votes Papi. always.
manny is one of the greatest hitters of all time. that was never the argument. the argument was mvp (v arod/booed like moose). i said ortiz. and not as a yankee hater, but as a dude who likes guys who hit in the clutch. your argument was he wldnt hit for shit without manny behind him. well. manny aint behind him.
ortiz is a fine hitter. can jack one at any time. does absolutely nothing else. has 3x as many strikeouts as homers most years. is under roids suspicion from me based on his pre-Sox numbers and all of a sudden breaking down now. we go round and round re: 2005 mvp. to me its "most valuable player", not "guy who had a bunch of memorable at bats." i dont remember shane spencer getting a lot of mvp votes in 1998. if you had a-rod and papi on your team and you had to shoot one off to the moon, you'd really send a-rod? really?
also, if ive learned anything from the yankees this year, its that the games in april and may count too.
In 2008, Ortiz named his top 5 favorite films of all time[10]:
* 1. Scarface * 2. Analyze This * 3. Anaconda * 4. Rambo III * 5. The Pink Panther (it's unclear whether Ortiz was referring to the Peter Sellers original or the Steve Martin remake)

He knew he had to change and he did...not easy at his age or with the success he's had.
