Dedicated to all things Mike Mussina and his enshrinement in Cooperstown
Thank God for advanced statistics. One of our first articles concerned Mussina’s rightful claim to the 2001 AL Cy Young Award. The stats now prove it. WAR–or Wins Above Replacement–calculates how many more wins a player was worth compared to the same replacement-level player.
Mussina’s 2001 season produced the highest pitching WAR in the AL by [...]
I stumbled across a fun tool on espn.com today. It’s called Career Assessments and allows you to project the rest of a player’s career. Now this is obviously meaningless because Mussina retired. But if you are very bored, as I was, you can project Mussina’s career had he chosen to make a run at 300 wins. James [...]
Considering that Mussina retired 8 months ago is it too much to hope that his official website might be updated to reflect this? The site’s rather well designed front page still reads:
As a starting pitcher with the New York Yankees, “Moose” has proven himself to be a committed and dedicated team leader. With over 235 [...]

Well, it’s over. As you know if you’ve read Ryan’s PHENOMINAL blog, Moose picked up his 20th win today. I’ll be back with my thoughts tomorrow after a night of rest, but I wanted to pass along a few points about Mussina’s season, excluding the wins.
1) Mussina’s ERA of 3.37 was [...]
A commentary by Rorschach
Who the hell decided 20 was going to be this big magical number? In fact who decided that round numbers are so good anyway? Is this hard-wired into our minds from birth or is it something we learn in youth? Somebody get Malcolm Gladwell on this! Why is it that multiples of [...]
This column is being written in response to Ryan’s earlier column on Mussina being a “True” Yankee. While I believe Ryan was being tounge-in-cheek about it, I despise the term “True Yankee”. To me, the term is used to pile on praise of guys who were part of the Yankee “Dynasty” like Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Tino [...]
