Mark Teixeira - maybe not the next Reggie?

Prized free agent acquisition C.C. Sabathia made his Yankees debut today and promptly got shelled with slow-starting also-prized free agent acquisition Mark Teixeira also not doing so great as the Orioles drubbed the Yanks 10-5.

Sabathia lasted only four and a third innings, allowing six runs, eight hits and five walks. He did not record a strikeout. Teixeira went 0 for 4, each out coming with at least one runner on base. A Maryland native, Teixeira was jeered all day for turning down an offer from his hometown team.

Yankees faithful can only hope this is a bump on the road to much brighter things.
