era can be sort of misleading, there are a lot of other important stats, just putting his era up there doesn't prove much. that said i agree with you about mussina.

the point about record is not that the yankees have won 13/15. the point is that they have shown some signs of life and looked like a very good baseball team, as opposed to the piece of crap that got swept by the drays. for the last 3 weeks the yankees have not looked like a 24-21 team, they have looked like the teams which have won championships in the last 10 years.

your poker analogy is wrong, the coin will come up heads 50% of the time even if it has come up heads the all of the last 10, but a baseball team is not a coin. teams get hot and cold, they play well and have good morale and go on runs, obviously a deck cannot.
