Re: Help! Mike Mussina is Killing Me!

If you can't reserve Mussina, be patient. Mussina is too good of a pitcher to stay in a rut, plus the Yankees offense is starting to wake up this week. My take is 1) don't worry about what place you're in at the end of April; 2) look at individual performances and make moves based on previous histories and solid research.
You seem to have a great pitching staff which can weather a few bad starts. When (not if) Mussina reverts back to form, your pitching stats will become that much better. Good luck.
