Rotation Replacement Roulette Continues

A reminder of what the hell I'm talking about:

Mike Mussina took the mound last night, his job clearly on the line despite what he may think, and supplied this piss-poor line:
3 IP, 6 ER, 9 hits, 1 BB, no strikeouts

For those scoring at home, in his last three starts Moose has allowed 19 ER in 9.2 innings pitched - an asinine 17.69 ERA. With that being said, I am attempting to find a suitable replacement for him in the Yankee rotation. Our next qualified candidate most definitely is in the shape required to be a starter, shaking his stuff on the catwalk for hours on end, but I fear his ego might get the best of him, as he most definitely feels he is too sexy for the rotation, the pitching mound and Yankee Stadium in general...

Skip To My Lou has been a busy boy lately:

Houston Rockets guard Rafer Alston has been arrested for a second time in three weeks - this time on a charge that he "slashed" a man in a Manhattan club on Monday.

He was also arrested on Aug. 5 for allegedly shaking a parking attendant and spitting in his face during a drunken rage after his car was towed. The latest trouble started when a member of Alston's entourage got into an argument at the club, which quickly escalated into a brawl. During the melee Alston slashed the man, sources said. Alston's attorneys say that he's innocent and both cases are motivated by money. But with so much competition at point guard in Houston, Alston has probably officially lost his job, and possibly his spot on the roster.
