<p>Pettitte is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA in five career postseason starts on short rest. You know what game is included in that? The one everyone knows as the greatest of his career: Game 5 of the 1996 World Series (8 1/3 shutout innings against Atlanta). Game 2 of the ‘03 World Series is in there, too (8 2/3, one unearned run vs. Florida).<a href="http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/11/03/short-stuff/"></a></p>

<p>If we give Selig the benefit of the doubt, his gesture, on the surface, opens the door to retired players who have been, or could be, implicated in baseball’s drug scourge. Teams or the league office should have no reservations about reaching out and reconnecting to fallen stars.</p>

<p>When asked about the play, Howard was evasive. "Did I catch it?" he asked. "Well, they called him out."</p>
<p>Yankees Manager Joe Girardi argued vehemently and told his players not to take the field while the umpires conferred between innings, but none of the umpires saw the play differently, so the ruling stood.</p>
