Player of the Game: Andy Pettitte

Today's Yankee radio Player of the Game announced by John Sterling. He didn't get the Win showing you how ridiculous that stat is. It's a handy political stat as voters are aware. Poor Bob Lorenz must have other responsibilities to dash off to, football's coming up, etc. On the YES Network he comes up with well, didn't you get the feeling Halladay wasn't quite as good as he has been and the Yankees were really figuring him out, etc. The guys in the booth politely deflected his goofy remark. Under no circumstances was Halladay crumbling--he had a picnic against the Yankees after a minor ruffle in the first inning. Lorenz' assessment is the kind you've heard in the past from fans of other teams. A Yankee fan watching this game had no hope whatsoever. Joe Torre said in the post game that if it had gone another inning, Mariano would probably have come out (for his 4th day in a row).
