Think a guy like Andy looks around and sees his teammates moving on and thinks the best way he can help the team is by retiring and taking that 10M off the books.

Class act, even with the roids.

I'm going to miss that guy. Wish he never left for Houston for that stretch - he'd have broken all the starter records.

Hank and Hal do a happy dance. 10 million saved. They can each get a 6th summer vacation home each.

i always wondered if andy wouldve folded like a cheap chair against BOS the way brown and vazquez did in the POs

[Dr. Detfink]

In his last 8 starts, Andy has an ERA of 2.03 and only 3-1. NO run support for this guy. today he's pitching a classic on Mo's last home game.

And what a way to close out his career. A complete game.
