The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte

It seems that in Yankee land you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t in regards to spending money. If you spend too much people cry that you spend too much and if you are concerned about your payroll hitting $300million you are a terrible person who doesn’t want to spend!

The backpage of today’s Daily News sums this up pretty well:

That wonderful headline corresponds with the latest from Bill Madden who argues for many words that the Yankees should just trade everything because hey look the Tigers did it. The Tigers situation is a bit different from the Yankees, but okay let’s just ignore that and write this column now. Then in two months make sure to write one called “The Yankees Must Stop Giving Up The Future For The Present/Past (Part 82)”.

In Andy Pettitte news, he says he is thinking about pitching for more than one year. I wonder what happened at his family sitdown.

“I really believe now, especially after playing with the Astros and pitching with my elbow the way it was when I needed the surgery, I realize now I could go out and probably pitch until I’m 45 years old, because I was throwing 82-83 miles an hour and still being able to compete — maybe because I’m left-handed or whatever,” Pettitte told KRIV-TV on Tuesday in Houston.

Yay.

Before I forget, Pete Abrahms emailed golden boy Phil Hughes asking him how he’s dealing with all the trade talk. Phil responded:

It’s been tough trying to follow any of this the past week. One minute it’s a for sure thing, the next it’s not. I want to stay in NY and its good to know I have the backing of the fan base.

I guess he’s seen Save Phil Hughes!
