Did You Know: Pettitte Has Been Here Before (and Failed)

Found November 04, 2009 on 700 Level:
PLAYERS: Andy Pettitte,  Pedro Martinez
TEAMS: New York Yankees,  Philadelphia Phillies

Yankees game 6 starter Andy Pettitte is lauded as being one of the top playoff pitchers of all time (by some, not us). He has a long track record, including a fair amount of success. However, when faced with exactly this situation, the Yankee's experience hasn't been all that favorable...

Last two times the Yankees have been in Series, Pettitte pitched in game six. The Yankees lost both of those games.

If I had to bet on one old goat tonight over the other, I'm taking a rested Pedro Martinez. [video below]
