Mike Mussina stopped the losing streak, on a day that the Yankees celebrated the last Old Timers Day at the current Yankee Stadium.

On one side the best team in Baseball with a combined record 69-40, a team that has a 12-2 record since the All Star game and coming off a one to nothing victory over the third place Yankees, while dominating the league.

On the other side you had a team that was over matched by a very bad Orioles team and embarrassed by the best team in Baseball the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Disneyland, Orange County, California.

No one expected the Yankees to get embarrassed on the day that you had 70 legends and former Yankee players on Old Timers day. Yet even the most optimistic fan would have expected another loss.

Through all of this Mussina looked great and other than a bad inning in which Betemit made an error on a double play.

His line looked great a two hitter while pitching 7 strong.

Mike is 6 victories away from winning his 20^th victory for the first time in his Career.

Twice he has won nineteen in his career and he has won 17 & 18 games twice in one year. Number twenty would be sweet for the man that has won 264 career victories.

Mussina is not looking ahead he is just taking one game at the time.

This year Mike has been the Yankees best starter and most reliable pitcher. He is playing for a contract at this point not resigning him looks like mistake, he can help the young pitching staff.
