Mike Mussina's not getting any younger and his wrinkly old Aardsmass will try to continue his string of giving up a home run in every game against the
mother @#%$ ace Josh Beckett. The supposedly "fragile" Red Sox ace has now reached the 200 innings mark in each of his first two seasons in Boston.
Not to be outdone in the milestones department, Mussina was just inked to do his tenth Quaker Oats commercial. This game will be announced by the eloquent duo
of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, barring any mercy suicides between now and 4pm.
