Will the real Andy Pettitte please stand?
Which is the real one? The guy we saw last night, or the one we've seen giving up 10 runs and repeatedly blowing leads? Eight innings and five hits allowed is Pettitte circa 1998. Pettitte made Hideki Matsui grand slam in the 6th stand, throwing strikes and looking comfortable on the mound. A far cry from the guy who always seems to make one or two bad pitches that cost him dearly.
This win puts the Yankees in third place, huzzah, and one game better than .500 ... for about the 500th time this season. The Yanks are 18-15 at home but 16-18 on the road. That's got to change if they're going to have a shot at the playoffs. Taking this series in Oakland is a good start.
Joba gets the calls against Houston tonight and old friend Shawn Chacon.
