So the Yankees are making all the rounds, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte appeared on Letterman last night. I didn't see it, because I'm trying to do things like reading for pleasure, and sleeping. Anyhow, the New York Times found this fit to print in a recap of the show, in which Letterman joked to Pettitte:
“Andy, I think you left for three years to go run a Dairy Queen or something."
Aha. Ha.
And New York Magazine has jokes:
So, the immediate news items in the wake of the Yankees' 27th championship on Wednesday night were that manager Joe Girardi will change his uniform number to 28, and that Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada are not the world's most compelling Letterman guests. (Though we did enjoy Dave asking Pettitte if he'd been out "managing a Dairy Queen" for a few years, which isn't that different than playing for the Astros.)
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
