Mike Mussina: Stuck on 17

thewaywardO — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:59:12 -0000

Wayward O is not a mathematician, however, with 15 days left in season, it appears to be impossible for the Traitor-in-Pinstripes to stagger over the line with his first 20-win season.

I admit it's very hard to win 20 games in a season. And that's why it's so important for a pitcher to do it if he wants serious consideration for the HOF.

That's really all I have to say but I'm not sure If I typed 75 words yet. So let me say that, in addition to hot dogs, I also like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches quite a lot.

Here's "Moose's" line:

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Mike Mussina (L,17-9)	5	8	5	5	2	7	0	3.63

BTW: We didn't call him Moose in Bmore, did we? I don't remember that. That's a dumb NY thing right?

Sidney Ponson's Line

If this was my line:

NY Yankees IP H R ER BB SO HR
Ponson 2.0 8 7 7 1 0 0

I would feel like punching a judge, getting a DWI, getting run out of two clubhouses, filing a grievance and then joinining the New York Yankees if I had a line like that.

Also my head would be swirling around kind of like this:

And I'd be a fat loser. You know, like Sidney Ponson!

Scenes from a massacre

Wayward O must say there were MANY Os fans represented at l'estad d'Janki last night to witness massive drubbing. Amazing displays of skill on D and O from B-Rob, Jones, Millar and everybody else. And Guts was magnificent. Not to mention a facade-smash from Aubrey. There were definitely signs of things to come!! Enjoy!!

Nice tat!

God bless Eddie Murray .... God bless 11 nothing....

Four to nothing early. Juan Samuel has issues as third base coach....

this flowchart helps express feelings about team.

it kind of omits several key players but other players .... well you know they're kind of metaphors for other players. not unlike the way dip n dotz are a metaphor for life itself. you know ... sometimes it's cool and refreshing and sometimes it's sticky and melty and really expensive. but either way it's life's rich pageant. complex and layered like our beloved game.
