Meet C. C. (Cash Cow) Sabathia

When is.......enough.......enough?

When is.......too much....too much? When is ...."the sky's the limit".......the limit? When will the old saying, "Nobody's worth that kind of money" really apply? My thoughts? Never.......



C. C. Sabathia........from here on to be known as "Cash Cow"..........has agreed to a contract with the New York Yankees that will make him the highest paid pitcher in league history.

$161 million for 7 years........Simple math? Try $23 million per year.......

And the Yankees? They had offered $140 million for six years.......Sabathia waited......a month later? 7 years and $161 million. Do I blame him? Heck no........get it when you can it.....

But..........

Be prepared for everything.......and I mean ........everything .......New York has to offer.

This will not be Cleveland....or Milwaukee.......This is ..........New York City!

Sabathia, is only 28 years old.......and .......he is an American, born and raised in southern California. He lettered in three high school sports ( Football, baseball, and basketball) and had a scholarship offer to attend USC as a tight -end ..........

His major league career record as a starting pitcher is 117-73, with an earned run average of 3.66. A left-hander who stands 6' 7" and weighs 250 pounds.

But............

Let us be the first to say this..........C. C. will never be able to live up to this contract......Never!

C. C. .......enjoy your new found wealth.......make sound investments....... for in a year or two....you will wish you were as far away from New York.......as you were the day you were born......SoCal...........

Don't ever say.....you were not warned........

And one more thing..........Damn the Yankees.......for still thinking they can just go out and buy a championship!
