You probably know that Andy Pettitte lost a perfect game in last night's game with two out in the seventh when Jerry Hairston Jr. misplayed a hard hit ball on a play that should have been made. Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Peter Abraham (with audio) and the AP have quotes from Pettitte and Hairston on the night. From the AP:

Hairston felt terrible, but Pettitte eased his pain by giving him a hug in the clubhouse.

"He was kind of funny," Hairston said. "He was like, 'You took the pressure off me.' He goes, 'If I haven't thrown a no-hitter by now, then I'm not going to do it.' He was probably the best. He said he didn't want to throw nine innings anyway. That's what type of attitude he has."

And Hoch:

"The ball took a bad hop on him," Pettitte said. "He kind of looked like he moved to his left and had to go back to his right. I feel bad for him. He was hanging his head and I gave him a hug, like, 'Dude, come on.'

Well handled, gentleman.
