CC Sabathia
CC Sabathia is one of my all time least favorite pitchers. He did not deserve the AL Cy Young Award last year (even though his numbers were better than anyone else’s). I don’t even consider him an athlete! If you’re 280 pounds and don’t play football, you’re not an athlete in my book. He finally got what was coming to him this year and he is currently 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA; the bad record it primarily due to bad Cleveland offense. Well, as of today, CC won’t have to worry about bad Indian offense because he was traded to Milwaukee. This is a clear sign that the Indians don’t care what happens the rest of the year, since they didn’t even really get anyone from the trade worth mentioning in the LZ Freak Sports Report. This may make the Brew-Crew (wow, that nickname is corny) a legitimate contender with the Cubs, but not anything to worry about for a team in a 100 year slump. However, even though you are probably tired of reading about the uneventful life a washed up pitcher, there is more. What you are about to read is the most distasteful and unrespectful thing done since A-Rod had an affair with Madonna. Sabathia changed his name from C.C. Sabathia to CC Sabathia. I find this utterly despicable. I like some baseball name changes, like Coco Crisp and Boof Bonser, but CC Sabathia doesn’t exactly work for me. This is also an insult to other baseball players with periods in their name (A.J. Burnett, J.D. Drew, etc.)Taking periods out of your name should be a federal crime. Maybe he’s hoping to get better at pitching, but all it’s getting him is the worst rating ever in the LZ Freak Sports Report history. I’m sorry, Brewers, but here it is:
Overall Grade: F-
