If your a fan of Andy Pettitte and have followed the guy throughout his career... this game was expected. Whenever Andy's back was against the wall, whenever he was in a place where he needed to come up big, he did. Tonight, a complete game victory almost seems obvious... yet, it's one of the most special wins of his career. You gotta love this guy walking into the sunset like this.
Andy Pettitte IS the Yankees. Mariano Rivera IS the Yankees... it's been real and I will never forget all they've done for us. It's a special time, despite not making the playoffs, it's special. It's funny... the irony is maybe we need the playoff-less October to just sit in reflect on how great these guys actually were... no... that's silly talk. On to the game.
The Yankees won tonight 2-1. Andy pitched a complete game. The hitting went like this... with the Yankees down 1 nothing, they came up in the 6th and made things happen for Andy tonight. Robinson Cano singled in Chris Stewart.
Shortly after that Eduardo Nunez scored on a throwing error from catcher Matt Pagnozzi. In the end, that's all they would need. No relief for Andy and no problems... he now will stay in Houston and just go home after his final game... the guy did good and I could not be happier.
Final: Yankees 2 - Astros 1
Good luck Andy... we love you pal!
