Mike Mussina may be coming out of his shell a bit

He pitched a complete game tonight, twice sending Joe Torre back to his seat. Actually, the 2nd time Joe got up, Mussina pointed his finger at him & yelled, "Stay there." Mussina has never wanted the label of #1 starter nor does he now, but perhaps he's becoming less uncomfortable around the bright lights. Fans will never forget his performance in the 2001 ALDS in the sudden death game against Oakland. He got the win in the 1-0 game in 7 innings, Mariano Rivera for scoreless 8th and 9th. No one remembers the Yankees had not had a lead in a game against Oakland in over 70 innings. But, this fact wouldn't be mentioned by anyone in the media, including any writers who say they're Yankee fans.
