Mussina is nowhere near the pitcher he was even last season...

Don't get me wrong...I've been a Moose fan since he was in high school (I lived in the same town) but he has lost it this year. He can't go deep in games anymore and he leaves too many balls in the prime hitting zones...makes way too many mistakes...he no longer seems to have the stuff to overcome mistakes.

(ironically this appears to be the same kind of decline many complain about in OOTP....the rapid loss of ability and results)

Can he recover from this? I hope so, maybe its mental but I believe he simply has declined to the point where he won't be more than a .500 pitcher, at best.

I'm afraid he will always be remembered as the best pitcher of his generation, NOT to win a Cy Young Award.
