cc see ya sabbathia

[Crayzee]

so i might be going out on a limb here-
but i think (and hope and pray)
cc's going to be a bust with the yankees

last year he was lights out in the nl-until of course the playoffs
and i think the year before he was whacked pretty good by the red sox in the playoffs

so i'm thinking he's not going to be lights out now that he's back in the al
especially in high pressure situations against the red sox and other high powered offenses
and possible playoffs
i think (and hope and pray) he will turn out to not be worth the money they are paying him

looking forward to fading him on some big dog lines

[element1286]

He won the Cy Young in the AL two years ago, he is going to be fine.

[Willie Bee]

After a slow start getting knocked around in his first four starts for Cleveland last year, he found a groove and was already in in fine form by the time he got traded to the Brewers.

[fiveteamer]

Do these giant contract free agent pitchers ever work out?

EVER?

[Chi_archie]

AL has alot more great hitters then the NL... but gosh people make it sound like the difference is like the difference between a single A minor league team and the yankees of 1928 or somthing

[ryanXL977]

he will be fine
have 18 wins with a 3.6 or so era
same numbers as always

[tacomax]

Barry Zito won it in 2002. Bartolo Colon won it in 2005

[Give It Away]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's hurt by June.

Big contracts for big pitchers almost always turn out to be a big waste of money.

[element1286]

Barry Zito is a soft tossing lefty whose velocity was declining, and Colon is a fat slob who keeps getting hurt. They aren't comparable situations.

[ryanXL977]

i would say aj burnett is much more likely to be a waste than cc, who has never been hurt, is just a big guy, and supposedly a top tier athlete.

Yes because CC is a thin, in shape, fitness kinda guy.

and big Yankee signings have usually turned out good.

Burnett rarely gets seriously hurt but he always gets elbow discomfort or a forearm strain that makes him miss a start or two. He'll probably start 25 games.

Sabathia is a big guy, but a better athlete than Colon.

Previous Yankee signings have nothing to do with this one.

[fiveteamer]

I guess what you are saying is that CC will break the trend. Good luck with that.

[VegasDave]

Sabathia is one of the absolute best pitchers in the game, now pitching for one of the best offenses in the game. I honestly don't understand why people are so excited about fading the guy. Yes you'll definitely get some healthy dog numbers on the other side, but with 15 games almost every day, there have to be better spots to pick then this.

[Give It Away]

Sabathia is a big guy, but a better athlete than Colon.

That's like saying a Hummer uses less gas than an 18 wheeler.

Look at the size of this ****.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.....

I agree, no big gap like many believe simply because they will gobble up all the shit ESPN and the other talking heads feed them.

Take away the DH, and there would be hardly any gap. Force Big Papi, Thome and others to play defense, and it will either hurt that AL club in the field or mean putting another big stick on their bench.

I agree, the gap talk between the leagues is out of control.

[Crayzee]

i think the gap is about 90% due to dh
nl pitchers get every third inning kind of "off"
not so much in al

DH's in the AL take a half inning off each inning. Put Thome in the field and Konerko on the bench, or Thome on the bench. Put Papi in the field and either Youkilis or Lowell on the bench, or Papi on the bench. Play the game right instead of having these full-time pinch-hitters in a lineup.

[element1286]

I despise the DH.

[Crayzee]

I despise the DH.

damn -who is that chick in your avatar- old school movie star?

elke sommer?

[Slanina]

As an Indians fan, I hope he sucks ass. God knows how bad he let us down in the playoffs. He sucks during high pressure situations. As will be seen this year in the big series they will have at the end of the season and in playoffs. I look forward to that pull in the 3rd inning of a huge game.

[Bread]

But are you considering how many New York pizza stands CC Sabathia has to pass on the way home? I’m pretty sure at some point this year he will be dubbed as CCC Sabathia. This could reach epic proportions. Man, it sure is fun to hate the Yankees.

lol @ CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCccc

elke sommer?

Heather Locklear/Lockleer would be my guess. She was in The Rookies with "Capt. Kirk", Melrose Place, and Two and a Half Men (guest appearances) to name a few.

[Shortstop]

CC Sabathia is strong. Don't fade the man.

[Crayzee]

another big money bust for the skanks

[Tsoprano]

Fukkin season just started Crayzee, give it time and see where they are as the season winds down.

Lots of teams got off to horrible starts, but the Yankees get the spotlight because they are in a better position to dish out more payroll.

[Slim]

Sabathia can't wait till dinnertime.

for the money he's getting he should be aces for the whole season
brian cashman is a tool

Take the over with this guy.....over hyped, over paid and OVER weight!

[Slim]

Cashman must be blackmailing the Steinbrenners to still have his job as GM.

[Crayzee]

another stellar performance by the fat ass crook

[jjgold]

It is very hard for a pitcher to dominate every year, most guys lucky to have 3-5 good seasons in their career
