In the latest sign of the apocalypse, CC Sabathia gave us the secret to his off-season weight loss – giving up Captain Crunch! Let’s see, Sabathia is entering his 10th year as a Major League baseball player and being a Yankee of course has the most expensive contract for a pitcher in MLB history. The Yankees starting rotation is minor league level at best given the incredibly ill-timed (or well-timed depending on whose perspective we’re talking about) retirement of Andy Pettitte and the emotional wreck named A.J. Burnett who apparently is still working on his mechanics. In fact, the New York Post has an article about Burnett’s state of mind, implying that it’s anybody’s best guess which pitcher will show up – the dominating one or the one who gave up six or more earned runs ten (yikes!) times. Yankees asking a lot of erratic A.J. – NYPOST.com Then there’s Sabathia who has just now decided to focus on his weight which, in my opinion, is at least two years overdue. Watch the video below and be sure to look out for the barely suppressed alarm on Joe Girardi’s face when told about the Captain Crunch mystery, especially when the words “knee pain” are uttered. The Yankees better hope Phil Hughes has a big season or it could be a long summer in the Bronx!
By the way, do you think Cameron Diaz is still feeding popcorn to A-Rod? I think that was my favorite part of this year’s Super Bowl and I expect Red Sox fans to mention it once or twice during his at-bats.
