Andy Pettitte gave the youngsters a class today, a class sorely needed, pitching. Behind Andy, the team played baseball, Yankee baseball; even despite two late in the game rain delays. The Yankees came away victorious, 7-1, after a lousy weekend in Baltimore.
Supposed ace of the staff Chien-Ming Wang got chased in the 5th Wednesday night, despite that, the Yankees prevailed 15-9. However Then their was Mussina, Hughes Kennedy, who combined for a 3 games losing streak. Hughes made it to the 6th, when he was sent packing on Friday. Kennedy was sent packing in the 3rd on Saturday.
Mussina who has been giving Hughes and Kennedy pointer should just defer to Andy. Watching him today was a treat. Today Andy was the Ace of the Staff.
The Yankees needed the win as they are still on the road and head to Chicago to play those other Soxs. The Chicago White Soxs are 11-7, with Wang having to deal with Jose Contreras on Tuesday. Ex-Yankee Contreras pitches well except against the Yankees.
The real threat in Chicago is Jim Thome who is close to matching White Sox team records. Mussina will toss against Javier Vasquez on Wednesday and Joe Girardi has yet to announce a starter for Thursday.
Who ever he picks he will have to be better then Cliff Floyd. The road ahead is as hard as the one the Bombers just left.
