He supposedly hits C.C. well. It's all in the tendencies, I guess.

He hit CC well back in 2001 and 2002. It’s a choice between horsesh!t and cowsh!t really, between him and Drew in the lineup vs. Sabathia.

Sabathia went almost exclusively to breaking stuff in the 2nd, eschewed his fastball. He had better results.

What's with the Kangaroo K's? LOL
