Yankees' Mike Mussina SNAPS Tribes' Broom in Two, Gets 4th Straight Win. 4 HRs.

, moving Abreu to platoon at first with his ever so golden glove; and swapping out as a DH.   Or Damon in left, with Matsui in right might prove more beneficial, considering the offense. 

On that note, the Yankees have not had a power bench, with clutch pinch hitting  since losing "Ru-bang" Sierra several years ago.  A power bench was definitely present during the Dynasty Years of the 1990’s, with the likes of Daryl Strawberry, Cecil Fielder, Tim Raines, David Justice, and later, Tino Martinez.  A better bench could be the cure for a ailing Yankee Offense. 

YES BOOTH 

David Cone, now Yankee YES Analyst, stated that, “The new generation likes Joba’s emotions (after strike outs.)” Cone warns though, that baseball purist, “the old school”, does not like that emotion at all, as it shows the other team up.  Mr. Cone must have forgotten about "Old Schooler",  The Mad Hungarian, Al Hraboki!  See Mad's video here, you'll love it!   Of course this was all before Cones' time.  Cone further opined that Joba is, “still learning how to act in the bigs." 

Joba is one humble dude, check out his video Q-n-A here, with Michael Kay, and Jobas' High School Prom date.  A must see for any Joba fan.  His humility off the field is refreshing.  Some in the booth who afford us their color commentary, constantly reliving the “perfect game” thrown in Yankee History, "showing up" the other teams' fans.  Loved Cone on the mound, not so much in the booth. 

 

I liked Al Leiter, and Jim Kaat in the booth. Conie will work into it, without being so critical of Yankee Players who show emotion.  Just analyze the game, and the positions, not the players themselves.  That same emotion becomes a weapon when they can't hit ya', a la The Mad Hungarian.  Want to end emotion that shows up the other team?  Start with Manny "The Hammy", who gazes at his work with out stretched arms putting himself above his team.  I wonder what the Japanese fans thought of his act.  Showing up pitchers should concern Conie more.

And a BIG welcome back to Bobby Murcer , recovering from cancer,  who played with "Number 15....My Friend Thurm", in the 1970s, winning 2 World Series.  Thurman Munson hit 550 in the 1978 World Series Championship, he still remains "number one in life, and in our hearts (-Murcer Eulogy)."  

 

Mr. Murcer, you are one class act, sir!! I will always remember your home run after the Munson Ceremony, what a tribute!
