CC Sabathia

So, The water man here told me he held no hard feelings for Sabathia. I do. But mostly because I don't like being lied to.

When the courting began for CC in free agency, the news was all over where he wanted to go. We heard a few things.

1. "I want to go where I will have fun"
2. "I would like to go to LA. That's where my family is"
3. "I want to hit. So the NL is the place for me"
4. "Money is not important"
5. "Milwaukee is the most fun I've had in a long time"

So #1 and #5 go together. Now we thought he was coming back. #2- The Dodgers and The Angels thought they were getting him. #3 Now just the Dodgers and The Brewers. #4- Everyone thought he was going to either the Dodgers or The Brewers. So then he went to the Yankees. Let's break it down this way.

1. No fun. He had to shave his beard, wear a not so baggy uniform, and will be looked at as a failure if he doesn't win 15 games.
2. New york is as far from LA as you can get.
3. New York is in the American League. Home to the DH. Sabathia will never hit at Yankee Stadium. He may never have an at bat all year.
4. Money WAS important. He took it and ran.
5. See #1. Also, he was really good friends with Cameron and Feilder. Neither are going to New York anytime soon. Also, If you do bad CC you will be traded. How does the Washington Nationals sound to you?

I cannot forgive a guy who gives 5 reasons why he doesn't want to go to New York and chooses the one thing NY has that no one else does. Money. Hope you enjoy it you money hungry bitch. You make me sick. What happened to you? You were one of the guys who played the game to win. Played the game because it was what you loved. Why would you take the money and piss on your fans. I hope you fail. So then maybe you get cut and have to come crawling back to us. At reduced pay, of course.
