What just happened here?

How did the Astros lose Andy Pettitte to the Yankees over a measly couple of million bucks?

Before Pettitte accepted the Yankees' offer, sources familiar with the negotiations told me he gave the Astros a chance to keep him for $2 million a year less than the Yankees will pay him. But Houston wouldn't increase its offer of $12 million a year.

I'd guess they're saving the money for Clemens. Andy's a home town boy, but I can't think he's drawing the fans like Roger does.

Andy asked for a second year player option like the one the Yanks gave him. Houston declined and NYY gave it to him.

This is so awesome. I don't really expect him to be what he used to be, but its still cool to have Pettitte back.

Getting Pettitte back is like finding your security blanket when you are kid. Everything is right again.
