Can CC And The Yankees Stop The Slide?

The Yankees got off to a slow start this season but since then it's been smooth sailing for the Bronx Bombers. The offense has been far better than advertised and the pitching about as good as we hoped. However they are currently in a four game losing streak and only one game ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the AL East.

If the Yankees are going to stop the slide they need to do it against the Kansas City Royals. The team that just smack them around 12-1 last night. Cue the man few fans have faith in, CC Sabathia. Sabathia is coming off his first win of the season and looks to double up tonight against the Royals.
