Check his record when the chips are on the table so to speak.
He didn't get the Brewers past the first round because he gave up a Grand Slam in game 2 as the loser.
Hot Phillie bats my A$$. - It's called a CC special at 98 MPH that doesn't move off the middle of the plate and goes over the fence just as fast as it came in!

He didn't do squat for the Indians in 2007 in the post season. In fact he stunk up the joint every game.
The Indians Offense saved him of a lose in game 1 of the Division Series against the Yankees.
Then came the RedSox series where he had 2 chances to post a win, but once again he couldn't match pitches with Beckett in either case. That's what you get paid the big bucks for... to pitch in the BIG games not against KC in the middle of June.

CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE when they needed him the most.
That is 4 Chokes and NO World Series in Cleveland because the ACE came up empty when it was needed.
He did NOT carry the Indians to the post season that year. There were 2 19 game winners and it was team effort.
They had starting pitching, hitting, and fantastic relief and everything was Hot in October except BIG CC.
