The New York Yankees just signed CC Sabathia. Initial reaction: too much money for a pitcher who hasn't consistently performed. Don't these GMs have any leveraging ability? CC isn't the best pitcher out there - why give him the best money?
I like that the Mets didn't give F-Rod the best reliever contract out there. Smart.
The New York Yankees will turn to an undefeated champion to start this Saturday's baseball game. Carl Pavano, 1-0 over the last 2 years, will get the chance to pitch and keep the Yankees in the playoff hunt.
I just had to post this video for Dan. It's a nice film done by his family of the '56 Yankees in Detroit, edited by Dan, with some nice music added in.
