<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yanks pitcher Mike Mussina's next start is scheduled for Saturday, but there is no guarantee he will make it. He gave up six runs and nine hits in three innings Monday, with no strikeouts and no answers. "Probably the last nine innings are the worst nine innings that I've pitched in my whole career, in a row," Mussina said. "I don't even know how to describe it because I've never had to deal with it before." In his past three starts, Mussina is 0-3 with a 17.69 earned run average, allowing 25 hits and 19 earned runs in nine and two-thirds innings. Opponents are hitting .313 against him this season. Manager Joe Torre said he would meet Tuesday with Mussina (8-10) and the pitching coach Ron Guidry to discuss what comes next. Kei Igawa, Ian Kennedy and Steven White are the top candidates at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and Matt DeSalvo gave up one run in eight innings there Monday. The Yankees owe Mussina more than $11 million for next season, but he seems to be nearing the end. It is a scary and sudden reality, and it has knocked him as low as he has ever been. "It feels like I'm never going to pitch well enough to get to the sixth or seventh inning again," Mussina said. "That's just how it feels right now." -- NY Times</div></p> Pretty good odds when Mussina has been on the mound to take the over on all wagers.</p> -Petey</p>

Wells pitches in the NL. He's washed up. </p> They could miss the playoffs? Maybe, but next year looks great.</p> </p> Oh, and Mariners lost!</p>

Petey, this isn't the only year were we've come back from behind...</p> </p> Mariners might be better than us, but we have an easier schedule.</p>

That was unintentional. </p> My main goal is to win it all, which implies us getting to the playoffs.</p> I'm just saying this is the year where, if we didn't make the playoffs, I'd be the most okay.</p>
