This just in from various sources, New York Mets Ace Pitcher Johan Santana did not win the Cy Young. Hell, he did not finish second. He finished fucking third. The writers are a joke. The guy who won, Tim Lincecum, was more than worthy but the second place guy, Brandon Webb, only got second because [...]

But you’re not the NL Cy Young winner this year. It pains me to say this because I’m a big fan of yours. Really. I’ve come to see you pitch in person at least six times this year and each time I’ve marvelled at your ability to make Major League lineups look silly. This year [...]

Questions abound regarding the state of the league. It’s not yet June so there’s no real point getting excited about every win or loss, but there’s so much parity right now that it’s hard to get a real grasp on who the real contenders are. Hell, I don’t think six people would choose [...]
