Andy Pettitte is angry. And you don't want to know what could happen because ... at any second ... he could fly ... INTO A RAGE!!!!1 Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot the steroids were a one time thing. My bad. Anyway, he's still upset.

And he called out his Yankee teammates following a loss to Toronto on Sunday, which probably hurt more as the Red Sox reclaimed the division lead.
"If we want to make the playoffs, we have to be better," said Pettitte, who took the loss Sunday. "We stink right now for the most part. As a team, we've kind of stunk it up here lately, so we need to play better."

[...]We've got to find a way to put it all together for an extended period of time with our pitching and our hitting combined," Pettitte said. "It seems like right now, we're feast or famine."
I'm tempted to lay into Pettitte, mainly because he admitted doing steroids yet no one seems to care about it at all. But he's pitched well -- one start against the Red Sox aside -- as the Yankees have started to make a comeback attempt in the East.

Besides, he's right. There's no excuse to go 1-2 on the Road in Toronto (remember how much they love that place) while scoring 10 runs (nine in the win). With the Rays stumbling and the Sox picking up the pace, either the Yankees need to listen to listen to Pettitte and grow up, or alternately, just all grow mustaches. That would be my solution to the issue.
