Who else? I want Linz to win, but he won't. Neither will Peavy. |

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/features/cy That's based on the statistics that the voters value the most, and Lincecum still leads. |

He doesn't have 20 wins though, which means he won't win it. Cy Young is based on W/L and era, you know that. |

Cy Young Points (CYP) = ((5*IP/9)-ER) + (SO/12) + (SV*2.5) + Shutouts + ((W*6)-(L*2)) + VB (see below) Victory Bonus (VB): A 12-point bonus awarded for leading your team to the division champsionship (pro-rated based on the current standings). That's the formula they use, as you can see wins have a huge part of it. |

I realize wins have a big part in it. This is why 21 wins looks better then 17, even if Linz has been the better pitcher overall this year. |

All I'm saying is the formula takes into accord how the voters overvalue wins and other stats, and still shows Lincecum as the favorite despite being outwinned. |

I failed miserably on the AL Standings Predictions. AL MVP? Kinda did good I guess AL Cy? He was good tho AL ROY? Got it AL Come back? This was like spot on. NL Standings....I got 2 of them right....and the 3rd will get into the playoffs(Cubs) via Central. NL MVP = nah NL Cy = Good, but Lincecum NL ROY= Fuck Tony Larussa NL Come back = That guy sucks |

Define "clutch." Voters aren't going to look for a players RBI total or batting average for the 7th inning on or 8th inning on or 9th inning to decide who to vote for. They're either going to vote for the best overall player or the player most valuable to their team. Everyone has a different opinion on which one of the two it should be for but I can guarantee you they don't care about a word like "clutch." |

![]() Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him. Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on. In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun. He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades. Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot. The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.
