Interesting stuff from Mark Feinsand this morning.
Mark is reporting that Andy Pettitte felt some back stiffness during his previous start in New York. There doesn’t seem to be extreme concern about it, but given the state of the Yankees rotation, it obviously adds a little weight to Friday’s start in Boston.
“The next day, I knew I was going to be fine,” Pettitte told the Daily News. “But you don’t want to have anything going on, especially after what I’ve been through with my groin.”
please be nothing.
repeated for emphasis: “The next day, I knew I was going to be fine,” Pettitte told the Daily News
I am going w/ Pat’s earlier explanation…his core muscles are weak from the long time spent on the DL
I’m writing it off to the inactivity from the DL stint until I hear otherwise.
Blake,
It has to be nothing, right? The only concern in my mind is the colder weather, Fingers crossed and all those good things.
Hopefully Pettite will be fine.All these injuries must effect Pettite’s decision to retire next year
probably just because he’s older and had not been through two straight starts in a while.
who said Andy was retiring next year?
Not saying that he will retire.But these injuries probably will effect his decision

Evil people spreading lies!!! Lol, im holding out hope for at least one more year of Andy. Would be nice if he could retire with jorge next year.
I hope Andy is ok. A healthy Andy is critical to the Yankees post season chances.
Andy will know best, but I think Jeter, et. al will try their damnedest to talk him into playing one more year.
Even though the decision is Andy’s, I think Jeter, et. al., will try their damnedest to have him back.
I don’t think this is any big deal-I’m reassured by Andy saying that he knew he was going to be fine the next day. And I agree with the thought that it’s probably due to inactivity from being on the DL so long.

Sorry got a duplicate post sign, and I didn’t think the blog accepted my original wording.
We may see each of the “core four” retiring after next year. All we need is Mr. Torre to come back for a curtain call World Series Championship. Then they can all ride out into the sunset together.
SAS,
Yea hopefully…maybe just some stiffness from not working much in so long. They really need him.
This is not a concern. Andy is a gamer. He’ll pitch regardless of how he feels. Why worry about a guy this mentally and physically tough.
Because anything having to do with the back is potentially serious, muscular or not.
“Because anything having to do with the back is potentially serious, muscular or not.”
I don’t agree if it’s muscular.
Tampa is going to lose tonight. It is going to be 3 games for the AL East Crown and HFA for all AL Playoffs. They Yankees and/or Rays momentum going into the postseason WILL make a difference, I don’t care what ANYONE says !
Well, I’ve heard countless coaches, players and managers say that, I guess they were wrong. Backs are funny things, especially for major league pitchers. I hope it’s nothing.
I have a cool story to share, it doesn’t have anything to do with andy though
I work at a preschool but I only work on fridays so I go in on thursdays to get the key and info for the next day. I visited the one year old class and was sitting on the floor getting hugs from all the kids when this one boy came up to me and touched the NY logo on my shirt(I wear yankees shirts about 24/7) and then he put out his fist to do a fist pump. Interesting thing about this story? The little boy is Wade Boggs grandson.
that is way cool tyanksfan

**************
Does he eat chicken everyday before recess time?
West coast
He didn’t say cause he doesn’t talk but I think he would ask his grandfather who pitched game 2 of the alds in 1996 and his answer would be andy pettitte
Did he attend another preschool before this one? An old one with faded green paint?
No, this is his first one
Wade Boggs has a grandchild.
Peoples kids and grandkids make me realize just how old I am sometimes.
Question for you all out there – (the ones that are old enough anyway)
who has the better signing voice? Steve Perry of Journey or Michael Mcdonald of the Doobie Brothers?
Our rotation is a bit wobbly, I hope it works out.
Steve Perry, but that could just be cause I like journey
Playoff rotation (call me crazy):
CC
Hughes
Pettitte
AJ
Cashman needs to go September 30th, 2010 at 11:52 am

*************************
Hmmm….good question. I’d say Michael McDonald.
Crazy-
If that’s the rotation opening up in Minnesota than based on the Twins pitching rotation this weekend we will face, in order:
Liriano
Pavano
Duensing
Blackburn
