April 20, 2007 – Boston, MA - In a true “power of living” moment, the usually reserved Andy Pettitte, dressed in home pinstripes, declared that he, like Mike Mussina in June 2006, also has no fear of the Red Sox.  He then raced onto the field and attacked Boston starter, Curt Schilling.  After a lenghty battle, Pettitte [...]

Yes, I did suggest the Yankees consider trading A-Rod because he was a head case last year and the Yankees were not getting A-Rod at his best.  I would have accommodated A-Rod if he wanted to be traded because he showed that he was incapable of playing in NYC for the Yankees in font of [...]

Just a quick reminder of why we love the Roundtable.  It allows us to go back and find posts like this.  When Len wanted to trade the “head case” A-Rod, dump Mussina and pick up Dontrelle Willis or Carlos Zambrano. Oh how the fair weather winds blow.

I like John’s analysis.  One batter protects the other in a strong lineup. 
The comments about Andy Pettitte speak to the new team this year vs. last year’s “team.”   One guy is pulling for the other.  Cashman looks like a genius bringing Andy back.
The Yankees record is now 8 and 6.  Where would they be without [...]

The paper describes Eric Wedge’s explanation of why he didn’t walk A-Rod with first open in the 9th. A-Rod had no hits and 2 K’s. Giambi had a HR already and was 3 for 5 lifetime against Borowski. Also afraid of the walk since Giambi has that great swing selectivity and likes, make that loves, to take [...]

I vote for the prescribed +3 for A-Rod. Any walk off homer has great surrounding circumstances and is very emotional. That’s why it gets a +3. That said – it sure was exciting. I must say that I enjoyed Sterling’s call. How many of watched the 9th inning on Yankees [...]

The Yankees travelled to Boston yesterday afternoon.  I’ll tell you one thing, the flight up there was a hell of a lot more fun than it would have been but for Josh Phelps, Posada, Damon, Jeter, Abreu and of course A-Rod.  On paper, the Sox look like they could dominate the pitching match up.  But here’s [...]

In the movie, “Bull Durham” Tim Robbins’ character Nuke Laloosh strikes out another batter.  In the dugout, he looks completely satisfied.  Kevin Costner’s character Crash Davis says the following: “Your fastball’s up, your curve ball’s hanging, in the Show, they would have ripped you.”  Nuke: “I was having a moment.”  Crash: “The moment’s over.”
The moment [...]

The other Pettitte quote which was funny about A-Rod.  Was: “Ever since I’ve been here, it’s been all good.  I don’t know what everyone was complaining about.”

Mike T, nice job on that post. What A-Rod is doing is unbelieveable. The Yanks are going to reward him with a fat extension so that they can open the new Yankee Stadium with one of the games greats and watch him smash Balco Barry’s record.
Pettitte’s comment to A-Rod was pretty cool.
On the additional clutch count [...]
