Pettitte quote:

I felt an obligation to get back to my team as soon as possible. For this reason, and only this reason, for two days I tried human growth hormone ... This is it -- two days out of my life; two days out of my entire career, when I was injured and on the disabled list. I wasn't looking for an edge. I was looking to heal.

Maybe i'm the only yankee fan, but this does stab at the heart a bit, i'm a huge fan of pettitte and seeing this just hurts a little for all he's done for us. Also knocks a bit off the home grown star he has become. This just doesn't look well for clemens now who came out and accused the report as slander. Oh well, at least pettitte's man enough to admit to it, just lost my respect for him a little bit
