Our self proclaimed infinite knowledge with all things sports was put in doubt today as CC Sabathia weighed-in (he he, cheap fat joke) as this years Cy Young Award winner, despite our best bet.Sabathia, who was 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA and 209 strikeouts, pitching a major league-high 241 innings, took 19 first place votes winning the award comfortably. Josh Beckett (8 first place votes) took 2nd place, and John Lackey was back in third with one first place vote. (Apparently John Lackey's Mom is one of the voters).
Yes you cry babies, voting is done before the post-season (somewhere Rollins, A-Rod, and Peavy are happy about this), and we know that Beckett is the best pitcher in baseball. While I think the World Series and ALCS MVP might be sufficient, you can't but help to bring up that Beckett was dating Danielle Peck, yet another marginally talented, good looking chick that finds success in the seemlingly talent free country music genre. My point? He has enough. How about leaving some glory for the rest of us you greedy bastard. Well, not me at least, I find glory in my morning bowl of Cheerios.....so majestic. So delicious.
