PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Adios, Andy" |
I know there's no Yankee love to be found here, but I have to post a fond farewell (or a see-ya-later) to one of my all-time favorite Yankees.
The 38-year-old Pettitte announced his retirement at a televised news conference at Yankee Stadium. He helped the Yankees win five World Series championships in 13 seasons in the Bronx, and record a record 19 victories in postseason play.
Full Story:

</3 And yet, there is one section that gives me hope:
Pettitte said that he was confident that he wouldn’t play this season. He wouldn’t rule out a future return.
“You can never say never,” he said. “I don’t think I would be scared, if I literally went through this whole season and I had hurt in my stomach that I wanted to pitch, to maybe try it again." I hope he misses the game enough to "maybe try it again." If not, I wish him a happy retirement.

1. "RE: Adios, Andy" |
I'll always appreciate Andy Pettitte because the guy won me a fantasy baseball championship in my most competitive league. In 2005, when he was pitching for the Houston Astros, Andy got off to a slow start, and one of my fellow managers dropped him from his roster. Being the opportunist that I am, I picked Andy up and stuck him in my starting lineup. When I picked him up, after a poor start on May 18th, Andy's ERA was 4.11 and his record was 2-5, and his final stats that season ended up being a 17-9 record and a 2.39 ERA (over a whopping 222 innings pitched). That was probably the greatest fantasy free agent pickup I've ever made.  After the season, the guy who dropped Andy Pettitte did the math and calculated that Andy's performance was the difference between my team finishing first (ahead of his team) and finishing second (behind where his team would have been with Andy's stats included). Thanks, Andy.
