Stiff back, stiff bats

More than just Andy Pettitte's back was stiff tonight in the Yankees' 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. The New York hitters stayed home, except for maybe Jorge Posada (two hits, home run) and Nick Swisher (two hits, double).

Pettitte may have had a win in any other game, if he had hitting support, but tonight letting four runs in and walking six didn't cut it. (Pettitte hasn't been phenomenal this season, but he's pitched to the occasion and avoided walks.)

Better luck tomorrow, when the Yankees close out the series with the Rangers at 1:05 p.m.
