I was interviewed by the blog Red Sox Super Fan, a blog which, as you may have guessed, is about everything Red Sox.

Meanwhile, the Yanks lost a tough one last night. The game was mostly decided in the sixth. After the Yanks scratched out two runs against Josh Beckett to take a 2-1 lead, the mediocre Mike Mussina promptly handed the lead right back. That is very Mussina-esque.

My brother, who probably knows more about baseball than I do, and I have a mutual concern about Mussina, who was 11-10 with a 5.15 ERA last year.

We fear not that he’ll stink so badly that he’ll get pulled from the lineup, but that he won’t; that he’ll be consistently kinda bad, just like last night, in which a clutch pitcher would have held that lead, and that he will stay in the lineup to fail the Yankees at clutch moments all season long.

Is there less of a big-game pitcher in baseball than Mussina?

Is there anything more demoralizing in baseball than to take a lead against one of the stingiest pitchers in the game, knowing that you need just another inning or so to give the ball to Joba and Mariano, and then have your guy giftwrap it right back?

I’d love to see a rise-to-the-occasion performance today from young Phil Hughes…who, unlike about 99% of Harvard professors, has a blog!
