 HOUSTON (AP) - Andy Pettitte felt like an outsider even though he finally was home. Just as he had hoped when he left the New York Yankees after six World Series and then helped persuade buddy Roger Clemens to come out of retirement to join him on their hometown team, the Houston Astros were celebrating a postseason berth. But Pettitte tried to stay out of the frivolity.
His left arm in a sling after elbow surgery, Pettitte just watched. And that's all he was able to do during the playoffs last year, when the Astros won their first postseason series.
"Because I had been through it so many times, I was trying to be happy for everybody else ... knowing that I was miserable," Pettitte said. "It was definitely weird, especially when everybody was in here celebrating and stuff like that. It was like, what did I do?"
