Waiting on CC

Posted by: Peter Abraham - Posted in Misc on Feb 13, 2009 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

We just spoke to Andy Pettitte. He admitted his shoulder really bothered him at the end of last season. He also thinks A-Rod needs to be honest to best get through the situation.

Meanwhile we’re waiting on Mr. Sabathia in the dugout.

    It’s so obvious he doesn’t want to play in NY, otherwise he would’ve been in Tampa already. lol.

    “It’s so obvious he doesn’t want to play in NY, otherwise he would’ve been in Tampa already. lol.”

    Are you really that stupid? Please tell me you are just kidding.

  3. jennifer February 13th, 2009 at 12:23 pm

    I think he is joking.

    Just be honest? From Pettitte? Really?

    Mr. I did it once, wait twice, wait maybe it was 4 times?

    A-Rod was about as honest as anyone has been on the issue.

    Such a wallflower.

  6. Patrick February 13th, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    “I think he is joking.”

    I hope so.. I asked because its hard to detect sarcasm over the internet.

  7. Tom February 13th, 2009 at 12:24 pm

    I think the “lol” at the end there, Patrick, indicates that he was kidding.

    Lighten up, dude.

  8. Patrick February 13th, 2009 at 12:26 pm

    “Lighten up, dude.”

    I’ve read worse posts that were said with 100% seriousness. People really do believe CC hates NYC. Those people deserve to be ripped so nah I am not going to lighten up.

  9. vin February 13th, 2009 at 12:27 pm

    “I think the “lol” at the end there, Patrick, indicates that he was kidding.

    Lighten up, dude.”

    Yeah, no kidding. This is my third spring training coming on this blog and I’ve seen so many ridiculous comments that I get a kick out of replicating them at opportune moments – then follow it up with a “lol” to denote my sarcasm. Got it?

    Andy Pettitte aka Mr. “I only did it once!”

    Tell the truth? What a hypocrite.

  12. Patrick February 13th, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    “Got it?”

    As I said, sarcasm does not translate well on the internet. Sorry if I reacted too quickly.

  13. Mike February 13th, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    Man I can’t wait for CC and AJ !!! I’m jacked up right now !

  14. SJ44 February 13th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    Pete,

    New drinking game. Go back a few posts in the blog and check out our “questions for CC”.

    Any one that one of your collegues hits, you have to drink a beer.

    It may not help you write your story but, you will have a lot of fun!

  15. pat February 13th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    As long as Congressman Cummings is making A-Rod his new penpal, you’ve probably gotten about as much truth as you are going to get.

  16. Patrick February 13th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    What ever happened to CB? I haven’t seen him post on here in awhile. I hope he comes back when the regular season starts, his statistical analysis is great.

  17. Stephen February 13th, 2009 at 12:35 pm

    Now everyone’s piling on one sentence by Pettitte?

    As if Alex has been honest all along?

    As if Alex hasn’t cheated for a quarter of his career, as opposed to a portion of a single season by Andy?

    Yeah, Andy’s the jerk. And Pete. And Selig. And Selena Roberts.

    Good grief!

  18. SJ44 February 13th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    No, that’s not the case.

    However, it is rather ironic (for lack of a better term) for Andy, or any of these guys to talk about someone being “honest” about using.

    How’bout this novel concept? How about everybody just worry about their own jobs and leave the suggestions to private conversations.

    As pat said, as long as you have Congress and law enforcement involved in this, NOBODY is talking honestly about it.

    Offer immunity, guys will talk. Don’t offer it? Nobody is talking. Nor should they.

  19. Rishi February 13th, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    and why should we believe that ANYONE (including Andy) stopped when they say they stopped?

  20. jennifer February 13th, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    Here is the list that SJ was talking about.

    1. What do you think of Arod?
    2. Will you become “emotionally scarred” as George King of the Post seems to think, by answering questions about Arod?
    3. CC, tell me, what do you think of Arod?
    4. CC, has anybody asked you yet what you think of Arod?
    5. Is your name on the “list”?
    6. How do you like all these baseball questions?
    7. How thick is Alex’s skin.
    8. Do you wish that you signed with a West Coast team yet?
    9. What did you have for breakfast this morning CC?
    10. Counting the days til you can exercise that opt-out clause?
    11. Are you sure you aren’t on the list, could you have eaten something lased with PED?
    12. What do you think of the new stadium?
    13. How much pressure do you feel to be the ace of this staff?
    14. How much pressure do you feel to get this team to the playoffs?
    15. CC how much of a distraction are all these stupid questions?

  21. Espresso February 13th, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    Well now see., C. C. Rider,
    well now see, see what you have done.
    Well now see., C. C. Rider,
    well now see, see what you have done.
    Now your man has come.

    I really like Chad Jennigs blog. Here is a good run down on all our pitchers.

    SJ

    Cummings said he wanted to speak with Alex to get info on where the leak may have come from.

    Radomski goes on the radio and says the leak came from 4 players and he has a good idea who they are.

    Radomski is under a fed order to have to tell the truth so why not let Alex play baseball and let Cummings have coffee with Radomski.

    Everyone is making a buck or name off of A-Rod’s back including news this morning that Roberts is moving her book release up to April 14th.

  24. E-Man February 13th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    Anyone know what the Joe Torre press conference is about that’s scrolling on the bottom of espn?

  25. Steve B February 13th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

    “A-Rod was about as honest as anyone has been on the issue.”

    Akin to being the tallest man at the Dwarf Festival.

  26. Steve B February 13th, 2009 at 1:25 pm

    “Anyone know what the Joe Torre press conference is about that’s scrolling on the bottom of espn?”

    Probably the Dodgers version of what Girardi did yesterday.

    1000% right Tex – people want to overlook the fact that Andy bluntly lied to everyone….because he has 4 rings.

  28. Bob Farrell February 14th, 2009 at 8:35 am

    Pettitte’s shoulder being hurt last year dow the stretch is a reveal but not a surprise. Anyone who ever pitched in pain could see it on his face in any of those last six or seven starts. My surprise is that I don’t think any of you beat guys ever picked up on it.
