Russ. Seriously, take some breaths. The way the final starts are setting up, Mussina is scheduled to pitch on the 29th and if Pettitte starts his last spring training game on either the 30th or 31st that still lines up Pavano, Mussina and Pettitte as the 1, 2, 3 starters to start the season. Meaning [...]

Assuming Pettitte pitches Friday against Baltimore…. and Mussina absolutely has to stay on 5 days rest. Â
We need a 5th starter to pitch Sat. 4/7 that’s no problem, April 21 or April 20 in Boston and possibly April 23 in Tampa and April 28 vs. Boston at the Stadium. The problem is alleviated if Wang [...]

No. 5 – BAL, @OAK, CLE, @TB, BOSÂ
Clearly, if everyone stays on rotation the [...]

What I don’t understand is why Mussina is not the opening day starter. I don’t buy that “he’s not on schedule” B.S. Pitch him only 2-3 innings in his next start – like he’s throwing on an off day and put him on the mound for opening day. Pavano should not be [...]

So we all have accepted the truth. Carl Pavano is the Opening Day starter. While some may think that I’ve taken the news badly – it’s not true. Although I definitely want to go on record that it’s Torre’s fault. Anyway, I could wax poetic about how the beauty of baseball is how is tracks [...]
