Sidekick,

Sure was, but I'm on the west coast. Henn blew it for the Yankees and Rivera almost blew it the inning before. Kudos to the Tigers for sticking in there.
Did you watch it on the MLB Package ?
The Tigers stuck with it and won that game , but they appear to be only treading water, they cannot win 2 games in a row or win a series or win the last game of a series. Not a good sign for a team that was expecting to be in the playoffs, they must come up with some clutch hitting, some two out hits to knock in runs, things they did so well last year, also the pitching has been so inconsistant it's amazing that they are as close as they are.
One day the starters are good , the next they aren't , then the bullpen can't get it done.

Mussina is done... The only problem is that he still has one more year under his contract. The Yankees should have left him walked last time.
Mussina has been "demoted". But "demoted" to what? He was supposed to pitch this coming Saturday against the Devil Rays but instead the Yankees called up their AAA prospect Ian Kennedy. Could he be worse than Mussina? who knows? Mussina has one more year on his contract and now sees his spot being passed by a young kid like Ian. Right now every game is critical... Yanks are 1 game out of the wild card race.
Well the Yanks have tough games coming up against the Sox, Tigers and Mariners. It was time to shake up the rotation again. Now if they could only do something with Henn. I never thought I'd want Proctor back ... lol
With 9/1 on top of us... the roster will grow 40 men so we may see Igawa, Henn, and mussina all bunched together 
trying to get answers to their season...
trying to get answers to their season... Well, it's my understanding that Kennedy will be evaluated on a start-by-start basis. But, considering his first 2 prospective starts are against Tampa Bay and Kansas City, it seems like a calculated risk. If he were slated to go against upper echelon AL teams, the Yanks might not have made the move. If he shines, then you roll the bones again. If not, then you hope the rest makes the difference with Mussina.
Mussina has been the Yanks workhorse for the last few years, I don't know what happened his last few outings were like BP.
For now it looks like Andy and Roger are the work horses and Wang is the # 1 guy.
All tied up (wild card) today!!

Not a bad company.... He joins Randy Johnson, Mark Prior, Tom Seaver, and Barry Zito on the list of pitchers drafted out of USC.
The Rangers were asking fo this guy in the trade for Gagne and the Yankees refused to depart with Ian.

I believe the Yankee - Tigers series was completed a few days ago. You won't see us till next season, or possibly the playoffs. That's looking kind of iffy for Detroit, see as Kansas City has been spanking us the last 2 days.
How sweet to sweep the BoSox.
Tied for wildcard this morning, let's see if the Mariners can continue to keep up.
