Six strong for the Moose

Maybe Mike Mussina has learned how to pitch ... again. At 4-3, he's looking pretty good compared to the two youngsters the Yanks had been running out there.

Darrell Rasner's back after performing well at Triple A. A sweep againast the M's would work wonders for the Yanks, who seem more and more to be having an identity crisis. They aren't the mashers - at least not yet - people always assume they'll be. They need good pitching, duh, and timely hitting, which doesn't seem all that complex, but turns out to be more difficult than one would imagine.

Maybe going without A-Rod and Jorge Posada for a while will teach them to win by doing the little things, instead of waiting for the big home run. Small, smart ball would be a refreshing change. Plus, it's amazing how good quality starting pitching makes Joe Girardi look.
