New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia announced today that he is checking into a rehab facility to be treated for alcohol addiction. The decision comes at an odd time, as the Yankees are preparing to face off against the Houston Astros in a Wild Card playoff game tomorrow. Sabathia was expected to be in the team’s postseason rotation. “Today I am checking myself into an alcohol rehabilitation center to receive the professional care and assistance needed to treat my disease,” said Sabathia in a statement released by the Yankees. “I love baseball and I love my teammates like brothers, and I am also fully aware that I am leaving at a time when we should all be coming together for one last push toward the World Series. “It hurts me deeply to do this now, but I owe it to myself and to my family to get myself right. I want to take control of my disease, and I want to be a better man, father and player. “I am looking forward to being out on the field with my team next season playing the game that brings me so much happiness.” Sabathia was inconsistent and struggled with injuries throughout the season, but he was at the top of his game in recent weeks. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for athletes to struggle with addiction . Seeking treatment at such a crucial point in the season, however, is highly unusual.

The Good Wife Season 7 Episode 1 Recap: Excuse Me?

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Let no one ever say The Good Wife is afraid of change. We opened The Good Wife Season 7 Episode 1 with multiple changes for multiple characters, starting with Alicia. Watch The Good Wife Season 7 Episode 1 Online She basically has to work her way up from the bottom now, appearing in bond court as a lawyer and having to fight with the judge simply to represent a few clients and argue that they deserve bail. It’s low-paying grunt work, but Alicia’s determination to get it done impressed another bond attorney, Lucca Quinn. Later in the episode, with Alicia stuck in court and needing someone to cover another courtroom for her, Lucca steps up. She helps win a case against David and Diane, using an relatively unknown portion of Illinois state law to ensure a large inheritance for Alicia’s client. And how did Alicia land that client? Via her website, she assumed, as Alicia is opening up a small practice in her own home, with Grace serving as her assistant. But it eventually comes out that Louis Canning arranged it all in his attempt to get Alicia to join his firm. She’s still saying no, she’s still saying he’s the “Devil.” But she isn’t gonna stop him from giving her clients, either, and she’s even gonna try and take his advice, becoming someone who says “WATCH IT!” when she bumps into someone and not someone who says “Excuse Me.” View Slideshow: 35 Highest Paid TV Stars of 2015 Finally, the biggest change of all involved Peter and Eli. The latter quit in protest after Peter basically replaced him as campaign advisor with someone who has a national presence. His goal is to finish second in Iowa and be named Hillary Clinton’s Vice President. It was jarring to see Eli and Peter fight in such a way. They’re the most stable tandem on the show! By the end of the hour, Peter still had a new advisor, but Eli came up with a plan to work as Alicia’s Chief of Staff. Where will this go on The Good Wife Season 7 Episode 2 ? We can’t wait to find out! NOTE: Need to catch up? Need a refresher? You can always watch The Good Wife online .
