I cannot even begin to describe my giddiness at first the wooing of Andy Pettitte, and now the romancing of The Rocket. If I had to paint a picture that captured the mood in Houston right now (for sports fans, anyway), it would be of a lone chill bump. Although, to hear New Yorkers tell it, we are, as a city, one collective boil on the ass of the Yankees. Yet another reason for us to celebrate… Welcome home, Roger. April won’t come soon enough.
