Pettitte 'a Little Sore'

Astros pitcher Andy Pettitte, who was struck in the right knee during batting practice prior to Wednesday's Game 1, likely will be able to make his next start, which would be a possible Game 5.

"He feels a little sore," Houston Manager Phil Garner said. "He's better today. He's going to be fine. I guess I could say the bruise is sort of diffused somewhat so he doesn't have a big hole the size of a watermelon on his knee now. He's sore but just fine. I feel 100 percent that he will be okay to make his next start."

Garner said he thought Pettitte had been affected by the sore knee on Wednesday night, though the pitcher wouldn't admit it. In his first loss since Aug. 16, Pettitte allowed five runs in six innings, including a two-run homer to Reggie Sanders. Garner said he had briefly considered replacing Pettitte prior to the game. "I had alternatives and [Pettitte] should have started," Garner said.

I hadn't seen this anywhere. Hope he's ok. It explains him struggling.

I guess I was the only one that missed this?

Yeah, actually if you look at the more in depth articles on astros.com, it mentions that actually Oswalt is the one who hit the ball of the inside of Pettite's knee.

No wonder he pitched an awesome game today, otherwise he'd have 2 losses to be blamed for
