Blech.  Anyone who thinks that Mussina had a mediocre postseason wasn't
watching; they're just looking at the W/L column.  Moose allowed 11 runs
in 29 1/3 innings, which is good for a 3.38 ERA- far from mediocre.  He
got quality starts in three of his four games, and didn't miss by a huge
amount in the fourth game.  He also had 3 incredibly clutch innings of
relief of Clemens in game 7 of the ALCS, which he not only escaped without
giving up a run but also bailed Clemens out of a 1st and 3rd, none out
situation.  The only thing that Moose didn't do was to get some run
support; his teammates scored just 5 runs in his three losses.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the 
people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by 
violent and sudden usurpations.                      -- James Madison
