Cano and Mussina Do Just Enough for the Yankees

the yanks just need a little hot streak. hopefully they’ll get it going soon, but if A-Rod can come back and get rolling and if Cano and Giambi continue to pick it up,New Era Jordan Hats, they’ll be fine. the starting pitching is coming along nicely with Moose and Rasner lately and Wang continuing his stellar work. Andy will be fine. bullpen looks good with Farnsworth having turned the corner. they need to be 5 games over .500 by the end of may, and 10-13 games over by the end of june.
Having retired 10 years ao and returning to Scotland still follow the yankees and beleive they will come good they always do just have to keep the faith
As for Cano, he needs to understand his responsibility in the Yankee lineup. 4 for 4 doesn’t mean anything, you need to put up numbers every game for your team. That’s what Baseball is about, putting up numbers and winning games. Going 4 for 4 in one game doesn’t automatically deem him ‘OK’.

I thought of that on Wednesday when Robinson Cano did the same thing at Tropicana Field. He hiked his average to .205, which is probably where mine was after that 4-for-4 night. But while my average probably dropped from there, something tells me Cano’s will keep rising.

“I’m never surprised when a guy has success – especially a guy with 250 wins,” Girardi said. “He’s been real smart about what he’s done, real economical.”

The Yankees are still below .500, at 20-21, and they still are not hitting. But they beat a very good pitcher in James Shields, and with just enough offense, they dialed down the pressure for one night.
One of Cano’s singles drove in Hideki Matsui with the first of the Yankees’ runs in a 2-1 victory. Both runs came with two outs. The output was meager, but it was enough for Mike Mussina, who won for the fifth start in a row with six and a third efficient innings.

Eat crow all you the clowns who said that Mussina was
over the hill…256 wins and counting….It’s great
to see him pitch!

Found your article from a google newsalert for “norristown.” Glad to hear that you still have a fond memory of the place because of that night.

Mussina actually had a similar streak just two years ago, winning five starts from April 19 to May 10. He finished that season 15-7,Cheap D&G Sunglasses, but some fans seem to only remember his loss in the playoffs that season and his struggles late last year.
I think it’s great that Cano and Mussina are doing something for the Yankees. But, going 4 for 4 doesn’t win us games. Obviously it didn’t noting some serious losses. As for Mussina 6-3, it’s pretty good for his age. He is very fine tuned with his throwing; but as I always say. His age is getting into the warning zone, maybe Mussina should hang up his pinstripes. He is arguably one of my favorite Pitchers of all time. But sometimes, it’s just time to go.
I remember playing a summer-league game one night in Norristown, Pa., when I was 17 years old. I was usually a pitcher, and by then I had realized I was not a very good hitter. But sometimes you put the bat on the ball and good things happen. My bleeders and bloopers found holes, and I went 4-for-4, all singles.

“He’s played 39 of 41 games, maybe 40, and I would say in probably 35 of those, he’s had good at-bats and he just wasn’t having a lot of luck,” Manager Joe Girardi said. “A lot of times things can get technical, and I just told him: ‘Find the 90 percent that’s open out there.’”
