Give Mussina Two More Starts Then Pull Him

That's right Joe, I said what you and everyone else are thinking but didn't want to admit. Moose just can't prove to us that he can be an effective starter anymore. Last night he gave up 7 hits for 5 earned runs in only three innings of work. That's bad, that's really bad. The simple fact of the matter is that with Chamberlin on bereavement (I hear his father is doing better) we simply can't afford to have a starter in the rotation who forces us to over work the bull pen every time he takes the mound. I like Mike, I really do, and I would love nothing more for him to figure it out on his own. But this isn't kindergarten, no one is going to hold his hand and tell him it is ok every time he spills the milk. So give him two more starts, and if he is still crapping out then I think its time to give Joba a chance at the rotation.

On a side note I'll be at the Yankees v O's tomorrow. Pictures to follow.
