Johnson has pitched well, but his fastball also is peaking at 92 mph, well short of the 98 mph he has been used to. Mussina, however, needs to get his rhythm going and use the knucklecurve effectively.

From what I heard on Mike & the Mad Dog, the Yanks are going to need to cut a pitcher. Groom has pitched very well, while Stanton has struggled. Karsay? Could the axe fall for him? I hope they don't ditch Sturtze, he was great for us down the stretch.

If they do drop somebody, let's hope his last name is Brown. :p

From ESPN, Omar Daal is the only FA pitcher available at the moment. I wonder whether the Yankees have another Chien Ming Wang down there in Columbus somewhere...

Oh "Admiral" Halsey, where have you gone....
