Your thoughts were mine, too....let Pettitte at least start the 8th and see what developes.
He was amazing in all those innings with Clev. base runners anxious to score.....this is why
in October he (and my old friend David Wells) were amazing.

But, the media reported (don't know how true this was) that he told Torre he was "tired".

The Yankees are in a deep hole now....but, if I recall they came back from a 0-2 deficit in
1978, and more recently an 0-2 deficit with Oakland.

Of course that latter brink of disaster was turned around by Jeter's fantastic play covering
the throw from RF (by the 1st base line) and flipping the ball to homeplate to get the out.
That play was so huge, it apparently de-moralized the A's.
