I know I said this in the Playoffs thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread.

As a Yankee fan, they can't show Mussina the door fast enough. Three different years, he's failed in the post season.

What do other Yankee fans think?

He can never get the out he needs, that's why he has never won twenty games. Oh, and a big surprise. A-Rod was 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts. I couldn't get rid of him fast enough.

You think that the Yankees should let go of both Alex Rodriguez and Mike Mussina during the off-season? I see a better chance of Steinbrenner getting rid of Mussina since he still has a large contract sitting on A-Rod.

My my how quickly Yankee fans forget. Didn't Mussina pitch a bunch of SCORELESS innings in Game 7 against Boston in the ALCS in 2003?

Mussina is a great pitcher but not one of the elites. He's in the 1-A category. Not quite at the top, but just a tad below.

Different situation entirely Empire. The Yankees were losing that game already so Mussina was pitching under less pressure....THere's a difference between that and saying - "We're winning this game 3-1" take us home. He blew a 6-1 lead against the Angels in '02 also...And got hammered in game 5 last year.
