This game was similar to yesterday's in that it was mostly offensive that did the talking and not the pitching.  Mussina really reeked today, but it's early, what me worry?  Karstens picked up Moose's slack and he looked really good today.  He did give up a couple of hits, but he did pitch 3 innings in the spring, so that was impressive.  He also shut out the Astros and K'd two of them.  Jeff Karstens gets Pitcher of the Day honors today with his nice performance.  As for the offense, Cano was in mid-season form today with his 3-hit, 2-RBI performance.  And Shelley Duncan followed up his Saturday performance today, adding another 2 hits and 2 RBI's.  Another good game from Morgan Ensberg as well.  Today's Player of the Day Award goes to Robinson Cano.  Shelley was the runner-up, Duncan 2, Giambi 1.  Igawa for A Day honors go to Mike Mussina, but again, it's early, what me worry?

Be back later with some more stuff.
