Mussina Rips Pavano...Again

The question of Carl Pavano's heart and guts came up again yesterday, and just as he did as last month's Thurman Munson Awards dinner, Mike Mussina took the opportunity to rip his teammate. "He needs to show a lot of people he wants to pitch for us" Mussina said. When asked if Pavano would get the benefit of the doubt, Moose responded, "Not yet, I want to see if he wants to do it.

Pavano only matters worse yesterday when he stupidly blamed the media for blowing things out of proportion. The media is no doubt filled with idiots, but it is truly amazing how many athletes try to use them as an excuse for their moronic or questionable behavior.

More from Moose- "He is looking at it with his perspective and we are looking at it with ours," Mussina said. "He has to show us he wants to pitch. Maybe once the whole team gets here he will look at it differently but I don't know how he will be treated by everyone."

"I don't know how widespread it is but from another starting pitcher who hasn't been 100 percent all of the last two years, I know what it takes to pitch and I know when you can't go out and pitch," Mussina said. "Some times it is a fine line. After 15 years, I know where the line is."
