Today's Target: Andy Pettitte

Vitals: Andrew Eugene Pettitte, 34 yo LHP. Born in Baton Rouge, LA. 6-5, 225. 188-105, 3.79 career. 2-1, 2.72 in 2007.

Arsenal: Low-90s fastball, his excellent cut fastball (it runs in to righties), a 12-6 curve and a change.

Recent Battles: Pettitte hasn't pitched against the M's since August of '03. Only two guys from that team still on the M's are Ichiro (who went 2-4) and Willie Ballgame (0-3). Pettitte's 8-9 career against the M's.

Our Best Weapon: Ichiro owns a .429 career average off of Pettitte--all those at bats came from 2001-03.

The Internet Says: Pettitte and Roger Clemens and their respective wives appeared in a really dumb commercial for HEB Smoked Meats.

HoRam (2-2, 7.62) goes for the M's. Game's at 1:05. It's on FSN
