Win number 17 for Mike Mussina is in the books, the dream of 20 is all but dead but might as well pile on as many as you can! A good outing, second run came off two consecutive doubles when Joe Girardi decided to try and Andy Pettitte him to death and brought him back out for the 7th. But it evens out against the run Tampa should have scored in the 3rd on a play that was hilarious from start to finish (it ended with Johnny Damon getting credited with an outfield assist, need I say more).

As a side note, I love when the people doing the scoring for Yahoo!’s live boxscores mess up and do funny htings:
- B. Giles tripled to deep left
- M. Ramirez hit sacrifice fly to left, A. Ethier scored
- J. Loney singled to left
It was karma. After pitching well but getting a no-decision against Boston, Moose worked out of multiple jams and got a bit lucky. We’ll take 17 though. And 18 and 19 and 20.
