And the AL Cy Young goes to...

Johan Santana, of course.

But will it be unanimous?

 

Who else really merits discussion here?

 

There were some Yankee fans making a case for Wang at one point, but you don't hear much of that any more.

If he gets it, Santana becomes the 14th pitcher to win multiple Cy Youngs.

 

Which would come one year later than it probably should have, but it happens.

 

You're right, it should be his third in a row. How many pitchers have done that?

Bartolo Colon, my ass.

 

Much better

 

Colon's ass had no comment. Neither did Bartolo.

 

And the AL Cy Young goes to....

Hoyer!

Oops, wrong thread.

 

Santana wins second AL Cy Young Award

NEW YORK (AP) -- Johan Santana won the AL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second time in three years, and the Minnesota Twins' ace was a unanimous choice once again.

Santana received all 28 first-place votes for a perfect total of 140 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Chien-Ming Wang of the New York Yankees finished a distant second with 15 second-place votes and 51 points. Toronto's Roy Halladay was third.

 

I was one of those Yankees fans, but Wang struggled a bit down the stretch and then the Twins won the division, so you had to give it to Santana.

 

Nice to see it was unanimous.

Writers get one right...

 

You make it sound as if that was the tiebreaker in a close decision.

Santana lapped the field this year.
