Mike Mussina (6-3, 3.99) was once again extremely effective through 6+ innings, as the Yankees actually scored 2 runs off the Tampa Bay Rays. Ross Ohlendorf came on with two runners on in the 7th, and gave a run up, which was charged to Moose. Derek Jeter made a spectauclr double-playto end the innning that the Rays announcers barely acknowlded.
Joba Chamberlain struck out the side in the 8th to setup Mariano Rivera to redeem himself against the same hitters that beat him last night. Mo is now 11/11 in Saves, after striking out Cliff Floyd.
The New York MEDIA is spinning that the Yankees won because Hank Steinbrenner threatened to “make some moves” earlier in the day if they can’t get going.
This is utter hogwash. It’s another reason not to believe ANYTHING that the MEDIA reports.
First of all, Mussina has been effective in every outing this year that did not feature Manny Ramirez. Second of all, how is the Yankees scoring TWO runs (which they had to scrap for) considered getting back on the road to winning?
Without A-Rod and Jorge, the Yanks are a .500 team, it’s as simple as that.
By the way, with his 4-4 performance last night, Robinson Cano is FINALLY batting .205

Well i'm sorry but i agree he's right about Mussina,I never really cared for the Moose he's very nasty and selfish,and i feel he should have retired he does nothing for our team.He's another player who was signed in 2001 and promised us a WS win,and never came through.He's a loser with an attitude.
save target as gay boys (Ladies…or gay guys I suppose) Mike Mussina

Joba Chamberlain is tweeting about scenes from Hangover 2. Funny!
Tampa Bay Rays. I wanted to go to one of the subway series games but for the same price I paid for this ticket – I'm about 19 rows back from the field I think – would have gotten me way up to the top of the ballpark for the Yankees v. Mets so I decided it was better to get closer and for a team I don't care a whole lot about.
It was definitely a splurge but I'm really excited to go. I'm just hoping the weather is good.
