Absolutely right on both counts. The Yankees' lack of hitting is puzzling, injuries notwithstanding. Don't forget, they have scored only four runs in three games in this series with TB.

And yeah, pronouncements of Mussina being washed up seem to be a bit premature at this point. We all do it here; I'm no exception to leaping to conclusions. It was natural in Mussina's case, because he has looked terrible at times. Now he is doing well, and people are jumping on his bandwagon again. Well, let's see how the rest of the season plays out.
