Pettitte Pounded
Andy Pettitte only lasts 2 1/2 innings. He gives up 9 hits, 8 singles and a triple, plus three walks, leading to 8 Red Sox runs.
Joe West is umpiring at home plate, and it looked to me like he was squeezing Pettitte. Andy threw one to Ramirez that he thought was a strike, and then the next pitch looked right down the middle of the plate, and it was called a ball, also. I don't know if West and Pettitte have had run-ins before, but Andy did not get a break on the calls tonight. I just saw Jeff Weaver have the same pitch called for a strike. Very strange week for umpires.
