Nice stat from yesterday:
The fact Alex Rodriguez’s home run — a solo blast in the fourth inning — tied the game was nothing new. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, 10 of Rodriguez’s 19 homers this season have either tied the game or given the Yankees a lead. Rodriguez now has 572 career homers, one short of Harmon Killebrew’s mark for ninth place all-time.

Hey Steve, any plan on trying to re-do that “Which Blogs Do You Read” poll?
@ clintfsu813:
This is clearly a new development since A-Rod’s 562 other HR’s were all of the meaningless, stat-padding variety. This is in stark contrast to all 216 of Derek Jeter’s homeruns which not only were all clutch but cured world hunger.
/end sarcasm
@ MJ:
Lol. Dont forget that those HR’s have gotten him laid 216 times

Any guesses on how Pettitte does tonight? Seriously, if he doesn’t start to turn it around, this rotation is going to look very short.
He’s had a good history against Baltimore recently..If he does well, I would better judge him against a team he hasnt pitched well against.
heres a wild thought: does anyone think that the yankees are not displaying the proper mph readings on purpose during YES telecasts? Repeatedly, Joba was hitting mid 90s on his breaking pitches last night.
I was watching MLB gameday on my phone and it said same. But I understand your skepticism..I didnt think he had it in him

I’ve lost all faith in Andy Pettitte, especially at Yankee Stadium. I love the man, but the pitcher kind of sucks.
To be fair, I thought the same about Moose in 2007

So did I. So maybe next year Pettitte can have a Moose ‘08 redux. But I think his ‘09 is more or less staying as is. He’s an ERA+ of 90 which is fine for a 5th starter but still cruddy for what we were expecting.
Maybe Andy just needs Hank Steinbrenner to tell the AP that Pettitte needs to start pitching more like Jaime Moyer?
