yawn....Peavy wins the Cy Young.

Jake Peavy has been announced as the NL Cy Young Award winner by unanimous vote, as we predicted earlier. Peavy lead the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA, the pitching triple crown.

The San Diego ace received all 32 first-place votes and finished with 160 points with Arizona's sinkerballer Brandon Webb, last year's winner, was a distant runner-up with 94 points. He was listed second on 31 ballots and third on one. The Dodgers Brad Penny finished third in the voting. Cincinnati's Aaron Harang was fourth and Chicago's Carlos Zambrano came in fifth.

There's absolutely no controversy here, which makes it boring. So boring in fact I just poked myself in the eye with a spork just to remind myself that I could feel something. Could I get sued if I accused Peavy of being a white supremacist? Or gay? Or a gay white supremacist? Meh, even if any of that was true it's still unexciting. Here's a pic of Carolyn Murphy to spruce things up.
