Mariano Rivera‘s unfortunate injury reminded me just how much I’ve enjoyed watching the Yankees over the years. The team may not feel the same to me on that fateful day when every member of the late nineties dynasty, the Yankees’ incarnation I grew up with, has retired. Fortunately for all of us we are one step FURTHER away from that day today. On Mother’s Day Andy Pettitte returns to the Bronx, hopefully kicking some life into the Yankees rotation in the process. Granted, the Bombers have been playing the Mariner’s, but the team is starting to look a little livelier. The M’s counter with Kevin Millwood. All in all this should be fairly one sided, just what Mrs. Pettitte would want. Enjoy.

Stadium is crazy loud. Pettitte hitting 90 mph. Gotta say, he’s showing glimpses of the old Andy.
eh, sorry, but Millwood seriously outpitched him. Tex better get him on fruitshakes.
I’ve been following the game on MLBN and Gameday, so I’ve not really seen much, but it’s absolutely disgraceful only three hits off Millwood.
Andy pitched well, he had some control problems and gave up the 2 HRs (still can’t believe Wells’ hit the pole), but overall I loved what I saw. He had good velocity, his curve looked good, and the cutter was OK. Everything was there for him to be the Andy of 2010, he just has to get into rhythm.
