Today was the day! I picked up my $1.10 (plus $3.50 in Ticketmaster fees) hard ticket from will call for the game. I am tempted to frame this because of the ridiculous price: The will call window area was very slow, and although they have many lines inside the office everyone gets stuck on one [...]

Andy on Alex — Unconditional Support
We’ll be here. The team’s going to be here. We’re going to support him. We’re like family in here. You guys know, I’m big on relationships. I feel like I’ve built up a good relationship with Alex. I care about him. I’ll try to help him get through it as much as I can. No [...]
Andy's Back (Officially) — Contract Details And More
Hooray, it’s official. I know because the Yankees sent me an email saying so. You can listen to the conference call about the contract deal on Yankees.com. Here are some quotes from the call: There never was a point we got to where we were at the end of the line and I needed to [...]
Andy Close To Re-Signing
Seeing this all over the place now, but here’s this particular quote is from the AP: Andy Pettitte and the Yankees are closing in on a one-year contract that would bring the left-hander back to New York. A person familiar with the negotiations said the agreement could be reached later Monday. The person spoke on condition [...]
More Pettitte Back and Forth
Joel Sherman (probably erroneously) reported yesterday that the Yankees are going to cut Pettitte’s contract offer which would, in essence, then telling him to go away. Period.

The End of the Line
From my two favorite baseball writers in New York, the dream team combination of George King III and Joel Sherman: Instead, the Yankee GM departed Las Vegas early yesterday morning to fly to Texas for a sit-down with Andy Pettitte Andy Pettitte – a story The Post broke exclusively yesterday on nypost.com. Cashman was expected [...]
What Is This Team Doing?
The Yankees intend to offer arbitration to their own free agent, Bobby Abreu, by tonight’s midnight deadline, and the Mets likely will do the same with their own free agent, Oliver Perez. The rest of the local teams’ free agents, including big names Andy Pettitte and Pedro Martinez, probably will not be extended that courtesy, [...]
Oh God It's December 2003 Again
Pettitte, 36, has spoken more than once with his former manager, Joe Torre, about joining the Dodgers, according to major-league sources. … His first choice is to stay with the Yankees. The Yankees say they want him back. But at the moment, the Yankees are focused on the top free-agent starting pitchers — CC Sabathia, [...]
Another Andy Update
Looks like the multi-year contract want thing has been blown out of proportion (surprise!), and from what is being reported after actually speaking to the relevant parties Andy is just waiting to hear back from the team. From Ed Price: Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters at the GM meetings this week that “Andy [...]
