Oh yeah, I remember that posting. Hm, so he’ll spend ten days/year doing broadcast work for the LLWS? I don’t think so.

But I guess he meant that will be the extent of his continued contact with baseball. He’ll be doing something else interesting, I have no doubt.

RIYank, see this post.

Mattpat, they’ll fill it with Pettitte.

Monkeypants, me too.

Moooooooooooose! I wonder what he'll do next. Guys with good heads for their sports often go in for coaching, of course, but my gut feeling is that Mike might be a little too smart for that. I hope he writes a book. That would be cool. Kind of a Life on the Run for baseball.

Well, Mussina retiring is bad news. I don’t trust the Yankees to fill his spot responsibly.

Unfortunately. I was really hoping for another year or two of Moose, and Pettitte’s departure (heresy, I know).

I think Moose’s retirement makes a one-year deal for Pettitte a lock.

Cool beans, the Mariners hired Don Wakamatsu as their manager; the first Asian-American manager in MLB (subject to verification?)

Well, good luck with that, although I think that team’s gonna need a little bit more than “prodding”…

Thanks for everything, Moose.

And Abbot & Costello is a classic.

[2] E@#$ confirms. Well, does this mean the Yanks focus on Andy as CC’s second as opposed (hopefully) to AJ or Lowe?

Btw, Moose will eventually be a HoF, but not in his first year I predict. His last year gives him a last minute boost, but it will take some time to sway the egalitarian sector…
