pitcher wants to be "closer to western white house" | alex
No sooner had I finished reading Jack Curry's analysis of the Pettitte situation in the Times than the news turned up online - Pettitte signs with the Astros. Now I know that as a Sox fan I am prone to counting chickens etc., but c'mon, so far this offseason's been good to us.
We get Schilling, and we're in serious talks to pick up the best player in the game. And if we don't, oh shit, we're stuck with Nomar, probably tied with Jeter as the second best SS in the game. The Yanks? Your (formerly our) superstar starter retires, you lose the Schilling battle, you lose another starter to Houston of all places, and your "big acquisition" Gary Sheffield is holding you ransom for more cash. Sux to be you.
No word yet from two-twenty's Yankees fan... she appears to be pouting. Or else she's hungover. I'm not sure.
