He's the youngest looking 36 year old I've ever seen. I bet he'd fail a Botox test.

No Red Sox thread today......I'm lost. I may have to read a real newspaper.

Andy:

Repeat after me....She's a queen killer.....

how old is this guy?

Whether he had/has something in the works or not....
this is not a 'smart' move- it's simply the appropriate
BUSINESS move. period. Not sure why this is a story

I can see it now...some seedy dive in the outskirts of Houston. A bloated cracked up Mindy McCready singing duets with Andy in a creepy lounge act. Roidger sitting all proud and puffed up stage right.

Pettitte covering his bases??He better watch out or Atro will steal them.........

HAHA! This sounds like a repeat of last time his contract was up. Take care, Andy, thanks for the memories.

Even with an awful last 3rd of 2008 Pettitte still had a 4.50 era in baseball's toughest division. He's a tough competitor who has proven repeatedly he can pitch in pinstripes and in the playoffs. Sign him to a 1 year contract for a reasonable price for both parties. Many so called better pitchers than Pettitte have come to the Bronx only to fail miserably. This should be a no brainer.

So you don't want Pettite back?

Given the choice between Pettite and Moose, I'll take Moose. Have a good morning, Uts, hopefully I'll catch you later. Gotta be gone for a few hours.

As long as he'll sign for $10M or less, sure. He's worth no more than that.

Moose told Joe Girardi that he's retiring.

This is just a formality. Plus, since Pettitte has gone on record that he wants to play only for the Yankees, what's the rush? Cashman stated last week that he wants Pettitte to come back. There simply are bigger concerns that are consuming Cashman's time. This deal will get done, just not for a while. If Pettitte starts pouting again and whining about feeling unwanted (which prompted him to sign with Houston), then so be it. But I really believe he will be back in the Bronx in 2009.

As a Sox fan I hope he comes back. He's not what he used to be and has struggled against Boston as of late.

Did he call you, too? Because this doesn't seem to be in any of the media outlets.

To be honest- and I watch basically every game.......

He is the SINGLE most improtant reason we missed the playoffs.
- we counted on him to be an ABOVE AVERAGE 2nd half pitcher and he was simply AWFUL. Had we won 3-4 of his last 1/3 starts....we would've at least been in contention for the wild card- instead of being done with 2+ weeks to go

Manny told Utley he's coming to Philly.
