MEDIA PARASITES BELIEVE PETTITTE OWES THEM FAME & FORTUNE

• 'LONG INTERVIEW SESSION' WITH BASEBALL MEDIA? SO THEY CAN GET ON TV--THE MEDIA GUYS. NOTHING LIKE THE CONGRESS GUYS WHO WANTED TO GET ON TV. LONG INTERVIEW ABOUT WHAT? THE FACT THAT THE YANKEES ARE AN ORGANIZATION OF PATSIES AND SITTING DUCKS WHO IF THEY HAD HALF A CLUE WOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED THE SO-CALLED MITCHELL REPORT TO BE PRESENTED THE WAY IT WAS TO BEGIN WITH? A GIANT PUBLICITY STUNT THAT HAS RUINED THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE. BUT THAT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH, OBVIOUSLY, FOR PEOPLE LIKE JACK CURRY.
  

Jack Curry, NY Times: "If Pettitte has to answer questions all season about his entanglement with Clemens and Brian McNamee, their former personal trainer, Pettitte will not “be able to do his job properly,” Mussina said.

He added that

• Pettitte should do a long interview session and hope the scrutiny subsides."

• 'HOPE' the scrutiny subsides? ANDY, SAY NOT ONE WORD TO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE. FOR STARTERS, THIS SOUNDS LIKE BLACKMAIL, IE IF YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING NOW, MAYBE I'LL BE NICE TO YOU IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES OF COURSE.
• I PERSONALLY HOPE PETTITTE QUITS, NEVER PITCHES AGAIN, AND THE YANKEES HAVE A POOR SEASON. WHY? BECAUSE IT WON'T BE AS REWARDING FOR THE MEDIA.
