Perspective

Some of you may yell at me for being a “Mussina apologist,” but this thought occurred to me last night.  I think Pettitte had a great performance.  But, Pettitte gave the Yankees the same exact performance that Mussina gave in the ALDS against Detroit  (3 runs, 7 innings).  Everyone was jumping on Moose and how [...]

That’s Mr. Reliable to you sir.

Andy, Andy, Andy.  As my daughter would say – “Andy gets a sticker!”  8-1 since the break, he’s won 6 games in August.  That is Catfish Hunter-like (and I don’t have to tell you where he ended up).  He may have given back the lead to Varitek in the 7th, but that’s payback for some [...]

Ok, opinion revised

Good.  I’m glad Mussina made those comments which I missed.  I mean I don’t want to be hard on the guy but this is a critical time of the year and his performance has been indefensible.  There are no good options here.  Stay with Moose (scary at this point); bring up Igawa (yuck – I’d [...]

Alternate Viewing….

After the Yankees Dropped a Moose last night, I switched over to “Thank God Your Here” for about 30 minutes.  Then switched back and forth between a PBS show “America at a Crossroads – The Anti-Americans (a Hate/Love Relationship)” and “Inside Al Queada” on National Geographic.  The inside Al Queada show was interesting in that it discussed how [...]

Re: Speechless

I thought Mussina’s post game interview was very honest and heartfelt. As pissed as I was, I felt really bad for him.
And Russ, he did say a few things like, “I haven’t helped us at all,” and “This team is in a situation where it needs to win, and right now I’m not helping.”
Maybe [...]

Cruising with Eddie

Joe: your last post is what is known as damn funny. Tonight, Discovery channel has another “Deadliest Catch” spin-off : “Groping for Guppies”. Hopefully, Pettitte will not force us to seek alternate TV viewing tonight.

Mind of Mess-ina

I was glad to see Russ post early this morning, I was afraid Mussina’s outing would have caused him to need medical treatment. Did you see Mussina working with Guidry on a new pitch in the bullpen last week? Guess that last desperate move was fruitless.
Torre always tries to keep that calm, non-ruffled demeanor on [...]

Changes to the Dictionary.

From now on, the slang phrase for excusing yourself to take a bowel movement, shall no longer be “Dropping a duece” it will be…
DROPPING A MOOSE

Feel free to use this phrase in public, at the stadium, wherever.  Just remember you heard it on the Roundtable first.! 

What ever happened to Michael Pare?

Last night there was no sporting event worth watching, so I was channel surfing and came up with Eddie and the Cruisers.  Good movie, but proof that Tom Beringer is a lousy actor.  Love the music.  I know there was a sequel – Eddie Lives, but I never saw it.  I hope there is something [...]

What a shame

I agree that Clemens should be put in the same boat as Mussina.  Both are over the hill and over paid.
 
Cashman gets an A for keeping young talent and a D for resigning Mussina and signing Igawa.  George should fire him for spending his money like a drunken sailor. 
 
Much blame has to be placed on [...]
