sorry, i havent been on that thread in a while. maybe next springJust saw this posted in the Daily Thread, from which you are banned.
What the fuck is he thinking?! He just started to pitch better so the booze is actually helping.
Not to make fun of him, but that's the second question I asked: was the alcohol actually hindering him, or making him better? Because he's been a good pitcher for a long time and I'm sure he did not become an alcoholic overnight.
In all seriousness his is a guy I really liked even before he became a Yankee. Unlike Mr Harvey who is sooooo worried about his next contract C.C. went out there in 2008 and pitched every 3 days down the stretch (Over 250 innings total that year) to drag the Brewers into the playoffs without a second thought about him being a free agent after that season. The Yanks also went with a 3 man rotation on the 2009 playoffs with CC constantly going on short rest.
Maybe he just can't come to grips that he isn't a top level pitcher anymore and tried to drink it away.

i got it from your ex lover, world.
Mickey Mantle thinks CC Sabathia is a pussy.
no, ive posted there and they suck.Front runner. Only post on the daily thread when the Sox are doing good. You make me sick
I'll be pulling for him to get right. I have a lot of respect for him making this decision without anything hindering him. That's what addicts normally do: "I'll go to rehab right after XX happens!" and then XX never happens.
I don't care for the whole innings limit thingy either, but CC was a little older in 2009 than Harvey is in 2015, and he didn't have a reconstructed elby-bow.
I can imagine that this won't be an issue for Harvey in the near future, when his arm is holding up and he's gotten a huge contract from somebody.

Why do I feel we're going to find a "CC cheated on his wife" story soon and he's blaming the booze? "I'm sorry Honey, it was the booze".

"Today I am checking myself into an alcohol rehabilitation center to receive the professional care and assistance needed to treat my disease," "I love baseball and I love my teammates like brothers, and I am also fully aware that I am leaving at a time when we should all be coming together for one last push toward the World Series.
"It hurts me deeply to do this now, but I owe it to myself and to my family to get myself right. I want to take control of my disease, and I want to be a better man, father and player.
"I want to thank the New York Yankees organization for their encouragement and understanding. Their support gives me great strength and has allowed me to move forward with this decision with a clear mind."
"As difficult as this decision is to share publicly, I don't want to run and hide," Sabathia said in the statement. "But for now please respect my family's need for privacy as we work through this challenge together.
"Being an adult means being accountable. Being a baseball player means that others look up to you. I want my kids -- and others who may have become fans of mine over the years -- to know that I am not too big of a man to ask for help. I want to hold my head up high, have a full heart and be the type of person again that I can be proud of. And that's exactly what I am going to do.
"I am looking forward to being out on the field with my team next season playing the game that brings me so much happiness."
The way this reads, I was expecting him to call himself a hero for doing this.
