It was a strange weekend for me baseball-wise. Astros vs Yankees. I would never pull for my own team to lose, but I was truly torn over how to feel about Pettitte going against the Astros.

Pettitte has been one of my all-time favorite players for a long, long time. Probably my very favorite ever. I've followed his career from the beginning and seen him pitch more times than I can count. My fandom of the Yankees goes back a long time as well. The Astros are my team now (again), but in all honesty, I was glad he got the win. He has a fantastic record and our season is a bust, so that made it a little easier to pull for him.

In a game seven type of deal with a pennant on the line - no way. However, best start to a season ever vs rebuilding & cellar dwellers - yes.

Now - about that buzz saw named Posada - damn - two grand slams in two days, one from each side of the plate. Along those lines; People are always going off on "The best team money can buy" - but it's the Yankees farm that brought up Pettitte, Posada, Jeter & Rivera - the foursome that put it on us this weekend.

I'm sorry we didn't take two of three, but I never expected to. Yankees vs rebuilding - it could have been a whole lot uglier. Our guys hung in there and were respectable in defeat.
