Write a letter and tell Andy how you feel

There was a bunch of comments over at LoHud about sending letters to Andy Pettitte from real NY Yankees fans to tell him how we really feel and why we need him to return. I think it’s a great idea. The best way to reach him is to send mail to his agents HQ’s. Please be very nice and cordial.

Hendricks Sports Management
ATTN: Andy Pettitte
400 Randal Way Ste 106
Spring, TX 77388

UPDATED - Writing a regular letter is much more impressive. But if you don’t have the 41 cents…

email them at contact@hendricks-sports.com

Fuck!!!! Pettitte declines 08 option

I know it doesn’t mean he won’t be pitching next year in the interlocking NY, but can we catch just a tiny break?

Pettitte’s agent, Randy Hendricks

I have spoken with Brian Cashman, who has reiterated what Hank Steinbrenner said about the Yankees wanting to give Andy all the time he needs to decide about next season…Accordingly, we are declining to exercise the option for 2008 and Andy will declare free agency in order to free up a roster spot for the Yankees.

If Andy decides to play, I am confident we can reach an agreement with the Yankees within 24 hours. The only options, as Andy has stated, are the Yankees or retirement. He appreciates the Yankees’ willingness to give him the time he feels he needs. I do not expect him to make a decision for quite some time.

Full story here

Here is the audio of Brian Cashman responding to Pettitte’s decision. Thanks to Lohud!

How do you earn $350,000,000?

I was thinking to myself what would $350,000,000 over 11 years break down to in per INSERT ACTION HERE. Wonder no more. FYI, I used his career average from ESPN for the AVG #.

Posada hearts Girardi; Mets heart Posada

There had been some rumors of a rift between Posada and Girardi. According to a press release Friday from Posada it’s not true…

“Girardi was my mentor and he always taught me the value of having a great work ethic and how it was most important to maintain the position year after year,” Posada said in the statement, released by his agents, Sam and Seth Levinson.

Full story here

There also is that OTHER NY team that might throw a monkey wrench in this lovefest, drive up the price, or give him and the Yanks no choice but to split ways.

A-Rod - A Different Take

An interesting theory from NoMaas’ Gilbert Lowell. I don’t agree. I don’t think the Steinbrenner boys are that smart. But Interesting nonetheless.

Off just a wee bit … What’s a 100 million between friends?

Peter Abraham from one of my favorite sites, The Lohud Yankees Blog, tells us why Abreu had to stay and A-rod had to leave.

$350 million?!?!?!

Unlike A-Rod, Girardi will bring us #27


In the coming days/weeks I truly believe the veterans will come back (Posada, Pettitte, Rivera) and I know the Yankees will do everything in their power to put a quality player at third base. Joe Girardi was part of the last dynasty and is a true Yankee.

Anyone who will intentionally put # 27 on their back to remind them self and everyone in the world what their #1 goal is …. has huge balls. That’s exactly the type of thing the Yankees need right now.

MARBLES!!!!!!

If you missed the Girardi press conference or you want to see it again here is the video link.

We at Fuckyouarod.com are a very optimistic bunch. We know that home grown talent and pitching wins championships. Anyone that says we’re dead without A-rod doesn’t know shit about the Yankees. We did it in 96 and I know we will do it again.

I'm a lifelong Yankee fan who has had enough of people like A-Rod thinking they are bigger than the game. Wearing the pinstripes is a honor that should be held to the highest standard. It's time to move on and talk about the future of the NY Yankees. If you have any comments please email me at fuarodATgmailDOTcom
