CC says Boston bunts ‘weak,’ tears into Sox

Furious that the Red Sox tried to bunt on him in the first inning on Thursday night, CC Sabathia turned and screamed toward the visitors’ dugout after escaping a bases-loaded jam, using salty language that made it clear he felt the strategy was cowardly.

And suffice to say it wasn’t merely heat-ofthe-moment anger, because hours later, after Sabathia threw six strong innings to help lift the Yankees to a 6-2 win, it turned out he was just getting started.

Not only did the big lefty call the Red Sox “weak” for trying to beat him with the bunt, he all but dared them to let him know if they had a problem with it.

“I don’t give a f--- about their reaction,’’ he said, referring to his outburst toward their dugout. “I don’t care what they have to say. I’m out there early every day. If they’ve got something to say, we can meet in center field.”

Hey, maybe this will bring a little bad blood back to The Rivalry.

Of course, it’s worth noting here that Sabathia is normally a pretty easygoing guy, and laid-back in dealing with the media, especially after pitching as well as he did on Thursday night.

And for that matter, he has dominated the Red Sox all season, pitching to a 1.04 ERA in four starts against them, allowing only three runs in 26 innings.

Meanwhile, it’s not as if bunting isn’t fair game, especially
