April 19th @ The Blue Jays

Fourth beauty in a row for Mussina. He should be 4-0 now instead of 2-1. Gee, is it his walk year this season? (Yes, I know the team has an option, but, they’re not going to pick it up.)

Considering that Schilling goes for the Sox tonight, and how he’s been pitching this year, this is a good win - it prevents the Yankees from falling four back in the loss column.

Do you know that Cano now has 54 PA this season (so far) and has not walked once? Yes, you don’t walk off the Island. But, dude, you’re here now. Take some pitches.

Do you also know that Andy Phillips now has whiffed in 19 of his 57 career big league At Bats (so far)? I think this is why Carlos Pena was signed.

Last concern from today: The Giambi HBP in the 7th. It was enough to drive him out of a 3-1 game with another AB coming. The way he’s been driving the ball, you hate to see something like this happen.

Now it’s nine games in a row at home to close out the month. This is the time to make a move. Keep your fingers crossed.

Cano is hitting enough right now — his BA is well above .300 — for it not to be a concern.

Re: Giambi. That bruise looked HUGE. But B.J. Ryan was in to pitch and having a lefty in to face him is just serving him up to the lions. Could be why he didn’t stay in.

I followed the Yankees game on my cell phone and was estatic to see Moose put out a good outing. This is his year to shine. We need the most out of him and WANG.

Also, I’m gonna plug my website This That Not The Other . I’m gonna discuss the Yankees when I can
