	Andy Pettitte News - The New York Times
		Andy Pettitte was that rare modern player, a career Yankee in the mold of Whitey Ford and Ron Guidry, a reliable left-hander who seemed as if he would wear pinstripes forever.
		When the persistent pain in Andy Pettitte's valuable left elbow was so excruciating, when he wondered if he had thrown his last pitch as a Yankee, when he tortured himself fretting about how he would support his family, the pitcher would retreat to a quiet place and seek solace by reading the Bible.
		Andy Pettitte had his best start of July Thursday, but said after the game that his command was shaky, he lacked rhythm and he still felt out of sync.

		Andy Pettitte started out terribly, especially by his standards last year, but won 16 of his last 18 decisions to finish with the second 20-win season of his career.
		Pettitte pitched much better in Yankee Stadium than on the road throughout his career, so it will be interesting to see how he gets used to the confining Minute Maid Park.
		Pettitte could wind up with 250 with an excellent winning percentage, and with all the postseason experience he has, his career should be Cooperstown-worthy.

		Pettitte took $7.5 million less to sign with the Astros -- the Yankees' last offer was for $39 million over three years.

	Houston's Clear Thinkers: Richard Justice, Andy Pettitte's press agent
		In return, the Stros received one season (2004) that was a complete bust when Pettitte was injured and underwent elbow surgery, one season (2005) that was one of the best of Pettitte's career (2005) and one season (2006) in which Pettitte was pedestrian.
		Now, given that the Stros went to the World Series in 2005 and Pettitte contributed greatly to that, I am not going to say that the Stros ended up on the short end of the stick in their deal with Pettitte.
		I always read that Pettitte pitching in Houston was always one of his main reasons for continuing to pitch, aside from his very lenient pitching schedule given to him by the Astros.

		Pettitte, who has pitched the last three years with the Astros, went 14-13 with a 4.20 ERA last season.
		Assuming Pettitte, who earned $16.4 million in the final year of his contract, does give Hendricks the go-ahead to negotiate a new contract in the next few days, the Yankees intend to be aggressive in their efforts to lure him back to the Bronx from his hometown.
		According to Hendricks, the family considerations that prompted Pettitte to sever ties with the Yankees after nine distinguished seasons in New York are no longer a factor in his needing to pitch in Houston.
