Some days I just wonder...

For any of you who may be unaware, we are currently in a recession. In fact, we are facing the largest recession since the little one we had back in the '30s. As a result we've seen Uncles Sam bail out the banks, and now possibly the auto industry. Foreclosures are a daily occurrence, gas peaked at almost $4/gallon, and our cable bill went up $5. What is the world coming to?

Thank the Lord for the rock of stability that is the New York Yankees. Even in these pressing times, when the common man is struggling to put food on the table, they are quick to remind us of what is truly the most important thing...solid starting pitching.

The Bronx Bombers signed C.C. Sabathia this week to the tune of $160 mil. over the next few years. Now, some may see this as absurd (possibly any of you who have logic, morals, or decency), but you are plainly wrong. Without starting pitching (especially in the A.L.), you are doomed to failure. The Yankees HAD to make this move, as pitching has been their Achilles heel since Giambi stopped shooting steroids in the buttocks. Chicks may dig the long ball, but they alone will not help you reach your final destination!

For any of you who may be interested, you can click here to see how long it would take ol' C.C. to make your salary. I think he has to pitch half a game or something to make mine. I just hope he can pay for gas in his private jet. Poor guy!
