Games of the Day
So many to choose from today. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays go into Boston only three games under .500 and 4 1/2 back of the Red Sox. Abbott faces Wakefield tonight; both have identical 2.37 ERAs. Wakefield has walked more batters, but we'll see if impatient hitters on the Devil Rays wait him out.
We'll see if Mike Mussina can shake off his poor start against Tim Hudson and the A's in the Bronx. Hudson has been good where Mussina has been bad. Hudson has issued 4 walks and 1 HR. Mussina has walked 13 and given up five dingers. Hudson, Mulder and Zito are pitching for the A's in this series. They're not the kind of pitchers you want to see when your team is trying to break out of a slump.
In the NL, Philadelphia at St. Louis features Eric Milton going against Cardinal ace Matt Morris. Milton so far has been one of the good off-season pickups. He's walked 4 and struck out 14 over 17 IP. Morris had a rough opening day but has pitched well since.
Phoenix is the site for another good matchup as Sergio Mitre faces Brandon Webb. Of course, last night's game was supposed to be a good matchup, and Zambrano got creamed. We'll see if Mitre fares any better.
Enjoy!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hudson pitches really well for the Yanks tonight ... that isn't a typo. I expect Stienbrenner to trade Giambi for Hudson right before the game...
:-)
Baseball lost its magic. Too many egos, too much money.
dont forget the all of a sudden good estes making his 2nd start at coors-canaveral
but so far milton has been a pretty good pickup for philly, plus he's on my fantasy team :)
I thought the Yankees were gonna win tonight, 10-1. In fact, I think they'll sweep the A's. This kind of bad start, with all the media attention and everything, will get them all focused.
The season just started for them.
But it's it's officially time for Yankees fans to be concerned with Mussina. What's going on with him?
