If Zack Greinke doesn't win the AL Cy Young, I'm gonna start smokin crack.

[El Supremo]

Nice job on the Roid Sox yesterday. 15 wins and a 2.08 ERA now.

[Bluzmann57]

1. Could be an all Missouri Cy Young sweep

Greinke certainly should win it, although since he isn't a Yankee, he likely won't. And Wainwright should win the N.L. Cy Young as well.

2. CC is destined to get his second undeserved Cy Young Award n/t

[Captain Hilts]

3. Randy Johnson lost it to Clemens despite having a lower ERA and more strikeouts.

Clemens played for a better team and had more wins. So, he won it.

[Upton]

4. ESPN's Cy Young Predictor

currently has Greinke leading with Felix Hernandez second and Sabathia third.

And while Greinke and Hernandez have the better stats and are clearly more deserving, what do you want to bet that we see a little East Coast bias and the award goes to Sabathia?

5. He will get it (CC) then really look like s**t in the postseason (again)

and everyone will say, WTF?????

[madinmaryland]

6. "a little East Coast bias"

Quite likely. Or at least a Boston/New York Bias.

[DaveinMD]

7. every city with a team in the league

gets two votes. So exactly how does that create an east coast bias.

[JonLP24]

14. That's easy there are far more teams on the East coast

You got only 6 on the West coast plus Arizona and Colorado which makes 8. The rest are in the midwest and the east.

[DaveinMD]

16. the middle of the country is not the east coast

Just as many teams in the AL Central as the AL East. I doubt Minnesota thinks of themselves as East Coast.

[LisaM]

8. I would love it to go to Verlander

He's really turned it around since his off year in 2008. And, he got his team back into playoff contention (don't know if we can hang on but I hope so).

I fear it's not to be, though. :(

[Upton]

9. Ahem..

ERA

Greinke-2.08

Hernandez-2.45

Sabathia-3.31

Verlander-3.44

If there's any justice, the award should go to either Greinke or Felix..

[LisaM]

10. If ERA counted for anything, that jackass Washburn would be in the running

What a bust he turned out to be.

[Upton]

11. Nobody forced Tigers management to trade for him

for the reasons I pointed out before, picking up a fly ball pitcher like Washburn can be an iffy proposition. Then there was Washburn's knee problem...did you read this article?

I think you've got to lay much of this at the feet of David Dombrowski.

[LisaM]

12. I don't know what he was thinking.

What a stupid pick up.

[DaveinMD]

13. I think

it was about protecting Porcello's future as well as adding a guy they thought would be good.

[Captain Hilts]

15. Me too. He's really cranked it up. An ODU grad. Yay!

[joeybee12]

17. Why am I only posting this two days later? Start? I repeat, Start?

:hi:

[El Supremo]

18. Sniffing glue as a teenager is what you see in me now.

[joeybee12]

19. are you sure it wasn't the Coca-Cola and aspirin that did it?

[Bill219]

20. Zack Greinke should definitely win it

and I want Theo to go after Felix hard in the off season
