I'm not saying this is the wrong move either by the way because Gaudin tonight and AGay in Game 6 is a crapshoot as well. I just want to know what you all REALISTICALLY expect from Pettitte. Honestly, if we get 5 ip and 3 runs out of him I'll be stunned. I'm thinking we'll get a 3-inning, 6-run shitfest. He's old and his stuff is not that good. Pedro was great his last time out and this f*cking team doesn't seem to feel like hitting until it's almost too late. I think we're in big trouble.

I'm hoping he will have his own issues with "short rest," which are in quotes since he hasn't gone on regular rest in awhile. As with Pettitte many times in the past, you just don't know what you will get. You get solid starts more often than the stinkers and hopefully that will be the case again, short rest notwithstanding.

Throughout the season, he and Sabathia have been the only starters I've had confidence in (and YF should know because I was defending him to you mid-season). I trust that he can deliver a "quality" start. But I also know he's lost the last two World Series Game 6s he's been in, including that ******fest against the D'Backs. My prediction was Yankees in 6, so I'm riding with 'em. I'll say... 5-4, Yankees.

Why can't we just score 5 runs in 3 innings off Pedro, score 4 more off the horrible bullpen, and win 9-2? Even the "blowout" games we have had this postseason weren't easy. They were close games the whole time until the bats woke up in the 7th and 8th.

The guy has come up big before but what concerns me is he didn't seem like he had much in Game 3 and now he's being asked to do something he hasn't done in a quite a while. Situation is what it is though, hopefully he comes through for us.

He nutted up tonight, absolute money and would've been even better had that ump not jobbed him. I wouldn't blame him one bit if he decides to take this and ride into the sunset. I wouldn't mind it if he wants to return either.

Can't count on Wang for anything next year and as is, they're gonna have to deal with Joba and/or Hughes' sh*t in the rotation next year and the only good free agent will be John Lackey, who might be too expensive.

Yeah, I'm going to worry about all this stuff after the parade and everything. But I agree it'd be great to have him back.
