As a Detroit Tigers fan I couldn't be happier that CC Sabathia is out of the AL Central. Countless times he made me cringe when the Tigers had to face him.
He was one of the main reasons that the Tigers didn't make the playoffs last year, and so I am giddy that we won't have to face him the rest of the season (unless the stars align and the Tigers meet the Brewers in the World Series.)
But I am also a little sad. Gone are the CC fat jokes. Gems like, Captain Calories, Corporal Candy, Count Chunky, and Slim will never be spoken by Tigers fans again.
Today's Must Reads
We will no longer be able to say, "Byrd couldn't pitch today because CC bit his wing," or "Of course CC didn't make it out of the fourth inning, Denny's opened an all you can eat buffet at 8:30!"
And who could forget, "That wasn't a spit-ball, CC was just drooling because someone had a hot dog behind home plate!"
So I now will pass the torch onto the Cubs fans. I'm sure you can come up with some good ones. Maybe something like, "Thousands starve in Milwaukee after Charleston Chew and Prince go out for brunch together."
So farewell, Chubby Choker.
I love to see you go, but hate to see you waddle away!

This article is not funny.
It's borderline rude to anyone who is overweight...actually, no, I take that back, it pretty clearly waddles across that border.
I don't know. Maybe it's just cuz I'm a Clevelander and the joker who wrote it is from Detroit and their fans bug me, but I thought it was just kindofa dopey comment some flub on the way to the men's room would make, not something actually worth putting pen to paper about, let alone typing and posting on a screen.

How is this rude to anyone overweight? I mean maybe it's rude to anyone that weighs 300 pounds who goes by CC, but not every overweight person.
I would think this makes you mad that you just lost one of the best pitchers in the game, and your team has offically given up on making the post-season.
Plus the fact that when CC left Cleveland he also left behind his periods, so even though Cleveland got rid of him they still have to deal with his menstral cycles!!

I still can't figure out how such an overweight behemoth can bring such filthy stuff to the plate. I'm sure he will feast on NL Central hitters. Wait...that was poorly written...
