I agreed with Rebecca's comments that this could take a load off of Andy's shoulders for this season, and I'm hoping he gets the 20 wins he would have had last season were it not for the April/May pen.

Besides, plenty of people do various drugs just to get through the day. We just don't report it in the media. Trust me. I talk to them every day.

Pettitte sounds almost childlike in some of his responses. He's a 35 year old guy who has spent almost 10 seasons in the NY area and yet still has a naivety about him. Hard for a jaded NY like to fully understand. Just finished Andy’s deposition.

I imagine there won't be many others who will want to engage with you either.... certainly not favorably. EYT -
