"On Wednesday, Houston starting pitcher Andy Pettitte was hurt during batting practice before the NL championship series opener.
He pitched, but wasn't himself in a 5-3 loss to St. Louis.
...
Pettitte was going through a traditional batting practice exercise of running the bases when a hard liner struck him on the inside of the right knee. Pettitte, also on the mend from a 24-hour flu over the weekend, made no excuses, but his manager figured the swollen knee was a factor in the worst showing in four months for one of baseball's best October pitchers."
How condescending to the St. Louis Cardinals lineup.
