Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

And the winner:
Yanks big money men make poor impressions
Which also reminds me I went to college with the guy who covers the Yankees beat for the Post. Jackass.
I find it very hard to believe that’s the back cover headline of the tabloid. I’ll look this morning on my commute.

I actually liked the NY Daily News headline: “Money For Nothing”
The Post headline really, really sucks.
The deli I stopped at only had the NYDN. What was the headline on the back of the Post rag this morning?

CC Sabathia simply pitched badly. All that money and not even a strikeout? It was only the fifth time in 255 career starts that Sabathia had failed to record one. Couldn’t even Darrell Rasner have done that?
And so it begins.
'Z' button abuser.
This is HANDS DOWN the best part. No matter how bad CC pitched when he was with the Tribe, we gave him (partly out of necessity) a wide berth. Even during last year’s tough stretch, I don’t remember anyone killing him in the media.
This year, in Doucheland, he’s going to get killed EVERY time he screws up, even if he does a lot better than yesterday but still loses. I am hoping and praying he can’t handle that scrutiny. Fail, CC, fail.
If anyone is going to the opener in New York, I just want to see a sign that says, “We were nicer to you.”

Interesting story here about Orioles fans giving Teixeira the much-deserved “jackass treatment.” Great details of his being booed relentlessly throughout the game.
Money quote from the jackass himself:
In a perfect world, the Orioles would’ve won the World Series every year I was alive and I’d be an Oriole right now. I have so much love for this city, this organization. But in the business world, in the baseball world, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. When it came down to it, the Yankees were a better fit for me.
Perfectly embodies the jackass mentality. “A better fit” is never defined and evidently just means Money, but he also suggests that “a better fit” means “a team that wins the World Series every year” — i.e., as I said of Sabathia and Clemens before him, these guys want to be paid to go to the playoffs, not paid to get to the playoffs.
Jackass.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I was gleeful to see how he was booed. I was less than impressed that the BBTN crew seemed confused, since he was a hometown guy.
At one point on YES, Ken Singleton said “he can silence the boos with a big hit here.” Um, no Ken, they’re not home fans. They’ll boo louder.

It’s amazing how consistent Jackasses are in trying to explain away their Jackassery. “Better fit” is the Jackass mantra, and I wonder if it’s instilled by team reps or if players just learn the drill by watching other Jackasses.
I’m sure it’s coming from their agents and team PR folks. Teixeira could be candid, admit that he wanted to go to the team that was less in a rebuilding stage, had the resources to compete every single year, and offered him the most money. He could explicitly trash the Orioles organization and say that the team is a joke, and that they could have outbid the Yankees.
But all that stuff is messy. Better just to say, “this was a better fit.” It doesn’t mean anything.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I’d love to see someone turn down the O’s and say “It’s a dysfunctional organization” ahead of time. Instead, we get those quotes only on the way out (Mazzone).

I watched a bit of the replay of the game on YES last night, and I was struck by how bad CC looked in the Yankee’s road grays. I know he always wore his uni a size or two too big, but this was ridiculous. He looked like he slept in his over sized Yankee PJ’s, woke up late, and came to the game without changing.
For his sake, I hope pinstripes are slimming. For our entertainment, I hope they’re not.
"It's hard to win when you don't score." Cliff Lee, 9/28/05.
I have to say that this was a fun endeavor, and I’m kind of surprised that no one guessed the actual Post headline. We’ll have to do the same after we light him up in the new Jackass Park.

I have to say I think some of ours were better (or at least “punnier”) than theirs.
