George Vecsey, Why do you give Paul Byrd a pass? And why the slurs about Andy Pettitte in the off season? You know something?

WHY DON'T YOU SAY 1000 UNIT HGH SHOOTER PAUL BYRD AND THE CLEVELAND INDIANS MANAGER SHOULD GET THEIR REAR ENDS DOWN TO CONGRESS? Why do you instead print words about Andy Pettitte that are either:

• The result of secret, yet to be released evidence of which you alone have personal knowledge and fail to cite. Do tell, if you know.

or

• You knowingly invite your reader to believe something horrible about Andy Pettitte because it's as easy as taking candy from a baby. The Yankees are asleep at the wheel, as usual.

From George Vecsey in the NY Times: "It is hard to imagine Pettitte, who is something of a follower, doing something more bold than his mentor, Clemens. But Pettitte is not going to be a serious candidate for the Hall of Fame, like the burly man who taught him how to work oh so much harder than anybody else during those off-season sessions in the Clemens home gym in Katy, Tex."

• MR. VECSEY, PAUL BYRD DOES NOT DENY SHOOTING UP THROUGHOUT THE 2007 POST SEASON. WHY THE HELL DO YOU AT THE GREAT NY TIMES NOT EVEN MENTION HIS NAME?

• Reference NY Times column by George Vecsey, "What Did Pitcher Know and When Didn't He Know it?" 1/4/08
