As predicted, the Yankees made a move very early today to let Ian Kennedy have a start this weekend, while Mike Mussina sits out at least one start. With EVERY GAME counting from here on out, this was a very smart move on the Yankees part. If it were earlier in the season, Mussina would most definitely been given time to work out of his funk, but there is no time at all right now. Kennedy has been highly touted, and was drafted right behind Joba Chamberlain. The two are good friends, and one can only hope that Kennedy can help the team get into a post-season position. With tonight’s win against the Red Sox, and Seattle’s unglueing at the hands of the Angels, the Yankees find themselves a mere game out of the Wild Card lead.
More on the Tuesday game later from my esteemed colleague, and founder of this wonderful site, John Butchko… He’ll be reviewing and recapping the entire Boston series. Take it John….
