Can CC Sabathia save the Yankees from October oblivion? | Politi

CLEVELAND -- So now the postseason hopes of the "Baby Bombers" rest on the shoulders of a starting pitcher who made his major-league debut in this city four weeks before Aaron Judge's ninth birthday, a workhorse with 3,317 innings on his meaty left arm and -- the Yankees can only hope -- no fear about the challenge facing him now.

It'll be CC Sabathia who gets the ball for this team, down 1-0 to the Cleveland Indians after a thorough 4-0 beatdown in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.
