Those Damn Skinny Lefties

It seems pretty clear to us that CC Sabathia needs to share some of his pound cake with chocolate sauce with the other lefty starters on the team. Cliff Lee and Jeremy Sowers suddenly suck, and we're convinced it's because they're too damn skinny. Neither of them gets the fastball much over 90, which is no doubt a result of their lack of appreciation for cheesecake.

We're glad that Sowers is headed out of the rotation and back to Buffalo where he can devour some classics and go back to work on his physics thesis. Let's just hope he figures out how to stop being bad at pitching, too. As for Lee, let's just hope he can find his 2005 form sometime soon.

Last, we continue to be impressed by CC's performance, and we feel bad that he can't get any help when Lee and Sowers get a bunch of runs. We think CC has to figure prominently in the AL Cy Young talk, and hope he starts platooning with Jason Michaels until David Dellucci turns his bat right-side up when he comes to the plate.
