CHICAGO — CC Sabathia covered his mouth with his glove as he walked off the mound.
The words barked from behind it wouldn't have passed an FCC screening.
It was that kind of Fourth of July for Sabathia, who watched his once-resurgent season tank deeper in a 8-2 loss to the White Sox at U.S Cellular Field on Monday.
On a day celebrated with fireworks and explosives, it was Sabathia who blew up, his third straight terrible outing after a beginning to the season that could be described as a renaissance, a proud veteran battling back Father Time.
