Ten Reasons C.C. Sabathia signed with the New York Yankees

With the recent news that C.C. Sabathia will sign with the New York Yankees for a reported seven years and $160 million dollars (the largest pitching contract in history), we have to ask ourselves why did this happen? Here are the possibilities that we came up with, but feel free to add your own below:

10. $160 Million can buy many Big Macs.

9. He was mesmerized by Derek Jeter and his “intangibles”.

8. Hank Steinbrenner is trying to live up to the legacy of his father.

7. Because packing heat is frowned upon in Milwaukee.

6. Because the Yankees haven’t had a Fat Toad since Hideki Irabu.

5. C.C. was tired of sharing pants with Prince Fielder.

4. Actually thought he was joining the next season of The Biggest Loser.

3. He has dreams of becoming the next Carl Pavano.

2. Because Strippers > Sausage Races

1. C.C. stands for “Cashing Checks”.

  1. wow…hilariously unfunny. 5 was ok…everything else was LAME

  2. Every one is a critic eh? While I agree this wasn’t rolling on the floor funny, I did find it amusing and timely. Well done.

  3. [...] CC is now a Yankee < Gunaxin [...]

  4. nice list. He might be fat, but we are happy to have him in new york.

  5. In 7 years CC will be out of baseball and forgotten about. The Indians finally got smart and got rid of him and his win 8 and lose 5. He’ll never be in shape and he has one when in trouble throw the low curve that bounces off the plate and the batters suck in on this and look silly. I have always thought that you should subtract the losses from the wins and thats really how many wins a pitcher has. Cliff Lee reminds me of the Indians pitchers of 1948 22 or 23 wins and 2 losses. He is so much better than CC that by CC’s salary Lee should get 210 million for the next 7 years. PS. I’m not his Agent (unfortunately) Realbrown.

  6. nice list asshole
