Three Quick Things About the Moose

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 [...]

What #20 really means. Marichal and the Moose and the Death of the Complete Game.

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 [...]

Posted by Rorschach and The Moose on 9/10
As what may well be Mussina’s final season with the New York Yankees winds down, it’s interesting to take a look at what he’s meant to the Yankees.  On November 30th, 2000 Mike Mussina signed a few agent contract with the Yankees.  He’s stayed with them every since, making [...]

Whose Tagging Along with Mussina to Upstate New York? Part I

It’s a slow weekend here at Mussinahof. The Yankees blew a 6-2 led to Toronto today, all but ensuring October vacations for themselves. We need to get some debate and talk going between now and Mussina’s next start.
Which of Mike Mussina’s fellow active pitchers are going to the hall with him? Today we’ll [...]

Where have you gone, Bret Saberhagen?

There’s been a lot of type on this site devoted to dispelling the notions of 20-win seasons and World Series glory somehow standing in between Mike Mussina and the Hall of Fame. We have instead argued on behalf of Mussina’s durability and consistency. Until this point, it had mostly been hypothetical, abstract, arguments.
Today, we offer [...]

Truths, damn truths and statistics

Today, we’re going to take an in-depth look at some of Mike Mussina’s lesser know statistics this season–all of these numbers were obtained from ESPN’s Inside Edge reports. You can find them here: http://espn.inside-edge.com
ESPN is amazing. I’m not going to pick all of the categories because that would take forever:
