I Hope Andy's the Man

All I can say today is "I love Andy Pettitte".  If that helps him win tonight, that's all I care about.  I've thought Andy was great since he came up way back in the mid-90s.  I've thought Andy was terrific since he won all those games for us die-hards back in the late 90s.  I even loved Andy when he went to the dis-Astros. 

I'm nervous.  I thought Joe should have started someone other than AJ the other night.  My son told me before the game started that the Yankees were going to lose because he didn't trust AJ.  He said AJ hadn't had enough rest.  I countered with a look at CC and how he did on three day's rest.  Then he said, "AJ's not CC".  And so it was.

I really thought we had them there in the top of the 9th.  They kept battling back and battling back and they sucked me right in.  By that time my son had falled asleep, but if Tex had gotten on, I would have awakened him.  Jeter's DP was a killer and so was Tex's K.  He swung at several balls there, and we could have had Al come up to the plate.  Instead, we pack up our troubles in our old kit bag and wait for tonight.

I just hope Andy is the man.  Please Andy.  Please give us something to cheer about.
