Mussina Hangs It Up

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that Mike 'Moose' Mussina has decided to retire.

"Yankees right-hander Mike Mussina is retiring. Mussina will make his decision official later this week, major-league sources say. The Yankees, who are aggressively pursuing free-agent starting pitchers, were not expecting Mussina to return. Mussina, who turns 40 on Dec. 8, is coming off the first 20-win season of his 18-year career. He is selling his home in Bedford, N.Y., according to one source, and planning to spend more time with his family in Montoursville, Pa."

good for you moose. I always liked Mussina, and i could never really understand why. His career numbers are not overwhelming. but is longevity is impressive. infact last season was his first time he ever reached 20 wins. I really dont have much else to say. So long Mussina.

Yankees Beat Sox In Last Meeting At Yankee Stadium 3-2

The Sox lost a tough one in the bottom of the 9th at Yankee Stadium. This will most likely the last time the Sox will be at Yankee Stadium, as the Yankees move to their new stadium next year, and the Yankees will probably not make the playoffs.

The game started with a great pitching duel Lester vs. Mussina. Both pitcher held up their end of the bargain as Lester pitched 6 2/3 innings allowing only 1 run on 5 hits with 8 Ks, and Mussina went 7 innings allowing 2 runs on 5 hits with 6 Ks. The Sox were up 2-0 going into the bottom of the 7th till Lester started to get tired, and let up 2 runs on Jason Giambi 2 run HR. Giambi was not down though, in the bottom of the 9th he hit the game winning rbi single off Papelbon. So, the last memory at Yankee Stadium will be a lot like the rest of the memories the Sox have there..heart breaking, but at least this time we know that our season is actually going somewhere, while the Yankees is basically over.
