on this pic he looks like C. C. Sofathe'is

If you think he's fat now, wait til he gets that monster contract. 20 mil per will buy a lot of twinkies.

God it is so obnoxious that the same 4 or 5 teams are the only ones ever mentioned when it comes to being able to lad these big names.

The Mets should sign Sabbathia, any kind of pitching would help that wreched team.

Big payrolls don't mean instant success.

Yes they do! Wait, no they don't ...

Mets keep spending and keep fighting but no dice the last two years. Starting pitching? everybody needs it. Another $ 20 mil a yr for 4 years? wow! Manny wants $ 20 mil a yr as well, holy smoke two guys $ 40 mil a year!

OMG that is scary..........But it seems thats what he will landup getting.?????????

If he's smart, he won't go to the Mets unless he wants to pitch his tail off only to watch his team get knocked out of the playoffs in Game 167 of the regular season.

my lord-
what team ISN'T pursuing this guy ?

Morning everyone. Becca nice new avatar btw. And FN could basically write [insert team here] eyeing Sabathia and it would be the truth.

Santana and CC with Pelfry as a 3rd starter would probably prevent that from happening again. Personally the Mets can't choke enough for my taste but Santana and CC were both good down the stretch and can keep that atrocious bull pen off the field.

He could stand to pitch a bit of that tail off.

I may land up getting drunk tonight.

Like landup getting? I hope he lands up in Boston!!!!!

Just hope you're no where near where he lands and that your windows are boarded up.

Yes the guy is hefty but so was David Wells and from where I sit this is what the Yanks have been missing for years: a dominant staff ace. The guy leads both leagues this year in complete games and has made his last 3 starts all on 3 days rest which I give big props to the Brewers manager for doing because finally someone is bucking the pitch count and inning count trend and letting their best pitcher just throw and throw often. (Ozzie Guillen also should be commended for going to an old school 4 man rotation with everyone pitching on 3 days rest). The Yanks need someone like CC to anchor their rotation. Wang and Andy and Moose and Joba are good right now but you need a guy who when you send out there you just feel we are going to win today.
