To George Mitchell Gazette folks, aka the NY Times: opt out

Today from Mr. Kepner, NY Times, about Andy Pettitte (not Paul Byrd, ALDS champ):

• "But he will be forced to deal with questions about an uncomfortable off-field topic, just another rite of spring at Legends Field."

First Andy Pettitte isn't forced to deal with any question any member of the media may have. He doesn't owe any of you a living. Second, WHY HAVEN'T YOU FORCED PAUL BYRD TO TALK ABOUT AN "UNCOMFORTABLE" TOPIC SINCE HE'S ON THE NATIONAL STAGE?

• There's no difference between the baseball media and your average ambulance chaser or group of vultures. That you choose this heinous way to earn a living isn't Andy's problem, nor the fans' problem and it shouldn't be the Yankees problem. No baseball writer should be allowed on Yankee property until further notice. I'm quite serious.
