It's a Sunday morning in Baltimore, the final day of the regular season. The Yankees are dealing with the effects of a doubleheader the previous day, but CC Sabathia is feeling much worse.
He's hung over and knows he has a serious problem.
A weekend of drinking - mostly by himself in his room at the Baltimore Four Seasons - has taken its toll on Sabathia, who can barely remember the details of the previous 48 hours.
"I woke up on that Sunday and was like, 'I can't do this no more,'" Sabathia said during an extensive interview this week with the Daily News at Roc Nation headquarters.
