Mike Mussina was understand and could not see the thunderstorm that was
approaching the Boston area before Friday nihght's game. He remained at
ease, though, as a could of reporters stomed the cramped visitors' club-
house at Fenway Park.
Wearing socks and sandals and sipping an orange soda, New York's Saturday
starter chatted idly with teammates and watched the Braves-Cubs game on
TV before pulling on his Yankees-issue batting practice gear.
Boston is old hat for Mussina, a 17 year veteran of the American League East
who has thrown more innings at Fenway Park (159) than any active Red Sox
hurler not named Curt Schilling (342 1/3) or Tim Wakefield (1157 2/3).
But facing the Red Sox, which Mussina will do for a 52nd time on Saturday,
never get easily.
"The more a guy sees you throw, the more [of an] advantage he gets." Mussina
said. " He sees more situations, he sees more pitches,.....The more you are
exposed, the bettter [hitters] feel in the box. I think the more you're
out there, the advantage goes to the hitter."
Mussina owns a 19-15 record with a 3.58 ERA against Boston in an astounding
344 career innings. But his ERA since the Red Sox's would serier season, a
three year span in which he has faced them 11 times, is a more pedestrian
5.25.
Schilling will take the mound against Mussina, setting up a duel of 200 game
winners. Unlike Schilling, Mussina has strugged this season, mirroring the
Yankees' mound troubles.
But he has allowed just five runs in three starts with backstop Wil Nieves
starting, a fact that prompted New York manger Jpe Torre to anoint Nieves as
Mussina's personal catcher.
After 17 years, change can be nice, even necessary.
老穆加油.....
