Andy Pettitte Out 6 Weeks With Fractured Ankle
When Michael Kay announced on the broadcast that Pettitte will miss 6 weeks, I literally got that same nauseating hot flash feeling that you get when you accidentally send a text talking shit about someone to the person you’re talking shit about. Room spinning, clammy hands, stomach doing somersaults- this is awful. Jack Curry just tweeted a staggering stat the Yankee rotation before Pettitte’s return was 15-12, 4.78 ERA, but after is 21-12, 3.46 ERA. 6 weeks for recovery translates into at least 2 months when you consider the second spring training Andy will have to complete before being big league ready. We’ll be lucky to have him back for the stretch playoff run. It’s really a shame too. Yankee fan or not, you have to respect the season he was having after a year off.
So what now? Do they call up Phelps? Give Freddy another chance in the rotation? Make a trade before the deadline? We’ll see what Cashman decides, but for now we have to let the dust settle from this horrific news before jumping to any conclusions. In the meantime, hopefully the Yankees can keep putting together this makeshift magic that they’ve been using to win all year.
Karma is a bitch.
Don’t cheat.
^^truth
Only a fuckin Yankee fan would call it makeshift magic. Yeah, the pitching staff is garbage, but when you can outslug every team in the majors, winning games happens a lot easier. The Pirates, the Mets, the Dodgers – they’re using magic.
you suck dick but this line is pretty true

Steroids= Brittle Bones… Without him and Clemens cheating Mets would have won 2000 World Series
Keep the injuries coming! They lost that closer and now this guy. Maybe by the Fall they’ll have lost as many players as the Sox have lost – and then we’ll see if they can still make “magic”.
@elportnose +1
I’m telling you, the Yankees should trade a few prospects to the White Sox for Peavy. He is pitching awesome and both teams would benefit. Let’s get this the fuck done.
I have a feeling HGH Andy will get “something” from the Yankee trainers to get back out there soon. But in the meantime what are the poor Yankees gonna do? After all, how can a team get by with only a $220 Million payroll? What a scrappy bunch.
Yanks suffer their first 2 big injuries of the year almost half-way in and are crying already. Happens to every team. You got enough hall of famers in your line-up to make up for it. Quit your bitching.
What “magic?” Your freaking payroll is $200 million. That’s how you win. And with that kind of cash, you should win every single game.
nope you’re wrong you bitch fuck him and his shitty ankle yankees suck.
@cocoz… Yankees pitching staff has the 2nd lowest ERA in the majors since Memorial Day but hey theyre garbage right…and the lowest bullpen ERA in the majors
@gmen…. “2 big injuries”? lets see Michael Pineada is out for the season, The greatest closer ever is out for the season, Brett Garnder has only played in 9 games, Robertson was out for a little over a month, Joba hasnt pitched yet because his fatass fell off of a trampoline, and now CC and Andy….yea thats two injuries right
@strasser…you gotta get on your Yankees beat man… Phelps in in A getting stretched out to be a starter theres no way hes coming up yet, Warren was already called up when you wrote this post and was put into the starting spot on Friday and Garcia on Monday…step ur game up PizzaBoy
Tough break
@by newyork32…..way to not reply to Tampa Jack’s post. You obviously know your place. Nice job kiddo. But you need to wake up to a couple facts. Losing Joba is no biggie. Fat boy has a 102 ERA+ over the past three seasons. He’s an average pitcher at this point. And the Yankees have only themselves to blame over Pineda. There is a reason he was on the block. You don’t just lose lots of velocity overnight like he did last season for no reason. Trader Jack suckered Cashman big time. The bottom line is you should quit crying. The Yankees payroll is double most teams, nobody wants to hear it.
Yankee fans are pathetic. Without both of the pitchers you just lost you should still win every year with the rest of that team. You have a lineup of all stars. Role players who would be starters if not all stars on any other team. Stop crying you just sound foolish.
