CC's first test

I wrote at the start of the year that CC would not be able to get the job done in high profile games.

Here was his line in the most important game he has pitched this year:

8 innings 3 runs 9 hits 4 strikeouts.

Not bad. Normally that's enough, especially at Yankee Stadium. And it really was enough, but SOME PEOPLE messed up with runners in scoring position and less than two outs in two consecutive innings (they know who they are).

But for 161 million, when does "not bad" become "not good enough"?
