Over at Baseball Musings, David Pinto points out a Yankee survey being done by Caitlin A. LaGrotte of Temple University. Here's a description and the link to the survey:
Also, Andy Pettitte appears on the list of pitchers whose second half of the year in 2006 could portend good things in 2007. Here's what Patrick Sullivan (Sully) had to say:
Here is an opportunity to share your experiences at baseball games when the Yankees are playing the Red Sox.
This survey hopes to better understand the environment created in baseball stadiums when rivals are playing. The study will not ask for any personal information and will allow for better understanding of the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox. If you have attended a Yankee versus Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park please click the link below to take the survey. Thank you.

Andy Pettitte
Post-All Star Break 2006: 93.1 IP, 2.80 ERA, 3.19 K/BB, 8.29 K/9
While teams tripped over themselves to ink the Gil Meche's and Jeff Suppan's of the world, the Yankees signed the guy that may very well have been the best pitcher in baseball over the last few months of 2006. Andy Pettitte, with little fanfare, dominated after the All Star break in 2006. While the press focuses their attention on the Bombers' neighbors to the norhteast and their signing of Daisuke Matsuzaka, the Yanks might have made the low-cost (relatively speaking) deal of the off-season.
