I realize that I am very late in writing my obligatory reaction to Andy Pettitte retiring but I was hit with the deadly combo of being sick for several days and then immediately being slammed with work. I’ve had zero energy for the last two weeks and so it was hard to sit down and [...]

Andy Pettitte Is A Man
From Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger (who you should follow on Twitter): Pettitte’s back was locked up, hamstrings tight, leg grabbed in G2 of ALDS. Pitched G3 in ALCS to give him extra time to recover. Two things to take away from this: Andy is tough as nails. We sort of already knew this but [...]
Prospect Stalking With A Bonus: Eastern League Playoffs
Last night I took a trip out to Trenton for Game 2 of the Eastern League Division Playoffs. It was an extra special trip because one Andy Pettitte was making a rehab start! As such, I took a lot of pictures. I’m going to pluck out the highlights, but here’s the full set (it’s an [...]
I'm Offended By The Yankees Offense Lately
The Yankees offense is driving me nuts. I know it’ll get better but right now watching Mark Teixeira bat makes me want to gnaw my arm off. His calendar must have been flipped back to April while nobody was looking. This video (not involving hitters hitting) is helping keep me sane. Maybe it will help [...]
Andy Re-Ups, This Time With No Drama
From Joel Sherman The Yankees have re-signed Andy Pettitte for one-year at $11.75 million, the Post has learned. The two sides quickly hammered out an agreement once Pettitte signaled he did want to play again in 2010 — and only for the Yankees. The contract this time around is not incentives based, which makes sense. [...]
Looking at Andy Pettitte’s Season In Graphical Form
Consider this part 2 in a 3 part series. After AJ’s last start in September (tomorrow) I’ll be doing one of these for him as well. I’m leaving out Joba Chamberlain because of the oddities caused by his innings limits and the mish-mosh of fifth starters isn’t really worth looking at unless you are into [...]
Andy Pettitte's August – A Very Good Month
Today I’m going to talk about something I love talking about: Andy Pettitte pitching well. And I’m very happy to talk about his because he went through a stretch where he just wasn’t pitching very well. And unlike a most of his bad stretches, it was pretty long. Here are his splits by month: Month [...]
Life, The Rotation, And Everything
The All-Star break is usually denoted as the halfway point of the season, and so what better time to look at how the rotation is doing. You’ll notice there are only four starters, and that is because at the minute the Yankees only have four starters. Chien-Ming Wang is injured and presumed dead, Alfredo Aceves [...]
He Just Wins Games (Except When He Doesn't)
Let’s take a look at Andy Pettitte’s numbers in a few ways. I am doing this up because recently I whined about how not very good Andy has looked lately and the refutation was starts, innings, runs. So here we go. First, results only. Because as we all know, results are what are most important. [...]
Who Loves Quality Starts? Me.
While Chien-Ming Wang is struggling compared to where he was last year, Andy Pettitte is pitching much better than I expected so far. He never does that great in cold weather and it’s been pretty chilly out (well, one of his starts was in a dome and also Florida but you know what I mean) [...]
