After watching Andy Pettitte absolutely dominate the game today against the Angels, I drew a conclusion that I am willing to argue with anyone about. Andy Pettitte will be the reason that the Yankees will win the world series this year!

Honestly, I would like someone to argue this point with me. He is one of the best pitchers in the game. That is a fact. Not only the number of wins he has under his belt, but the number of wins he has in big games that really matter.

Last year, Pettitte was one of the huge reasons that the Yankees did as well as they did in the postseason. He was lights out practically every time he took the mound. We all know that the money that he is receiving is no where near the checks that CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett are cashing, however, Andy Pettitte has a mental game that can rattle any hitter.

The following huge wins for Pettitte are my evidence that he will come through in the clutch yet again:

• Last Game in Yankee Stadium in 2008. Talk about pressure. The last game ever to be played in the house that Ruth built. Led the Yanks to a 7-3 victory.
• Game 6 of last years ALCS. Pettitte lead the Yankees to a much needed win over the Angels to clinch the series.
• Game 3 of last years World Series. Pettitte not only did the job from the mound, but he also got a huge RBI up the middle.
• Game 6 of last years World Series. Pettitte was the man. He threw this game on only 3 days rest. Experts and physicians were skeptical, but Pettitte proved otherwise.

Again, I will say it loud and clear. Pettitte will be the reason that the Yankees win #28 this year!
