TORONTO - Andy Pettitte said it makes him feel "sick" to know the Yankees will miss the playoffs. He also stepped up to take blame for the team's failures, but Pettitte also admitted that he has been pitching with his left shoulder bothering him and he will be shut down rather than pitch Saturday.
"It's given me a little bit of trouble," Pettitte said of his shoulder.
Pettitte underwent an MRI during the last homestand, and it showed no structural damage. But he has thrown 204 innings, and there is no reason to push things now.
Pettitte, 36, is normally a strong second-half pitcher. This year, though, he went 10-7 with a 4.03 ERA in 20 starts before the All-Star break and 4-7 with a 5.35 ERA in 13 starts after.
When asked to evaluate what went wrong for this team, Pettitte said: "I just look at, the big thing was me personally. I just think I pitched terrible."
Pettitte will be a free agent after the season and has not definitively said he will pitch next year. However, he certainly sounds as if he wants to return. He has talked about wanting to pitch at the new Yankee Stadium.
"[The Yankees], they've pretty much let it be known they'd like to have me back," Pettitte said. "I want to try to make a quick decision. Hopefully I don't get home and scuffle with it."
Pettitte said he will pitch for the Yankees or nowhere: "I want to play here. I want to play here. We'll see what happens, but I want to play here."
Sidney Ponson will pitch Saturday.
So, yeah, if you had any doubt (optimism) that he wasn't coming back, put it in a hat and sit on it. :laugh: Funny organization this is. What's almost as funny? There's no way they'll propose a pay cut. He'll bank $16M for a third straight year.

:rofl:
It'd be angering if it wasn't so f*cking comical. What a bunch of stupid asses running this organization. The three stooges. A hot-headed, loud mouth know-nothing in Hank, a cheapskate in Hal and a complete and total imbecile in Cashman. What a joke. I guess this is great news for MM, MooMoo and the other happy people though seeing as in their minds people like Pettitte, Jeter and Posada can do no wrong.

Problem is he doesnt have the HGH or the heroin or whatever that he used in the past to heal that shoulder.
When he signed last year rumour had it he has a handshake deal on the 2nd year because he wanted to pitch in new Yankee Stadium.

HGH isn't detectable. He won't be stupid about it again, but he can, and very well may get back on it this off season.

Pettitte and Mussina will be back next year, what a joke.
Pettitte is going to get the same $16m again, please somebody in this organization has to tell him to f*ck off and give that $16 to Burnett. To Hell with what Pettitte did 10 years ago! He's been a disaster.
Sabathia Wang Pettitte Mussina Hughes
YUK!!! We may even have to settle for:
Wang Burnett Pettitte Mussina Hughes

Cashman will strike out on all the big free agents. You can't pay true stars enough to force them into this mediocrity...
