The award was debased last year when the pitcher's record was not factored in. From now on it goes to the best hurler with the best nickname on the worst team. To quote a famous philosopher, "You play to win the game". Wait a minute. The award was debased last year when the pitcher’s record was not factored in.

I used to love how creative they were, like the beer mugs for David Wells. I have to believe they've been banned.

Lots of baseball left, though. I think the only argument that CC has been better than Verlander is wins, and that’s a crappy argument. Lots of baseball left, though.

I don't think wins are going to be as important as other stats, at least not after Felix won it last year. It’s a two horse race, CC & Justin.

It might come down to who wins more games and perhaps relatedly, which team makes the postseason. I know Jered Weaver has a super low ERA, but after his suspension, I think he's out of the race unless somehow CC and Verlander both falter.

Could they?" No, but I bet they'll try. One question to those of you who get a chance to go to the Stadium. Why don't people do K count sings anymore? I never see them on TV. Are they banned in the new Stadium? I would love to see "CCy" signs for the big man. Or maybe "C"s with a tangent on the back of the "c" to make it look almost like a "k". Or maybe my imagination is out of control. “You don’t think they could give the Cy Young to anyone else? Could they?”
