(Doing my best guys. I'm no jedi so reverse psychology is all I got. BTW, if you're in the BBWAA, don't read anything in the parenthesis. Thanks.)
Edit...
Same way you leave Tim Lincecum off your ballot altogether.
Definitely going to happen...which is sad. Sabathia is also likely going to finish higher in the MVP balloting than Lincecum, Webb, and Santana, who he placed behind in the NL Cy Young vote.
Interestingly, Bobby Thipgen finished a distant fourth when he set the record, although that had a lot to do with the fact the AL had three pitchers (Clemens, Stewart and Welch) with 21 wins or more, and Welch won 27.
In a weird and crazy way that almost makes sense.
W-L...... 6-5......2-3
Sv..........39...... 62
BS...........1.........7
ERA......1.40.....2.24
WHIP..0.665..1.288
IP........70.2.....68.1
K............77.......77
HR...........4........4
Sv > 1 IP..9........0
I'm sure that table looks terrible, if someone can fix it please do. Edit - somewhat better
Not really sure how anyone could think K-Rod had a better season than Mo. He allowed TWICE as many baserunners!
NB. The fact that 3 voters left Doc's name off the ballot .... I'm speechless.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that Halladay didn't actually lead the majors in innings this year.
Does the NL still count as the majors?
I can't argue with this, it's a good pick. Halladay has an argument, due to the more innings and CGs, but Lee had an excellent year without that much less value from innings.
Personally, I try not to get too worked up over down-ballot injustices.
EDIT: As noted by someone a couple weeks ago, Sabathia also pulled the unique trick of leading both leagues in shutouts - first in the AL and first in the NL.
It's an injustice to me. Where's my award?
there. now I've done it. I give you your 2008 MVPs, Sabathia and K-Rod.
If I know Crispix, I think he's being facetious.
Yeah, I know. I was trying, though failing, to agree with him.
spot on with the Rivera comparisons, Mariano was far more dominent. I'm too lazy to run the numbers, but I think even Paplebon was more effective overall than K-rod...
Haloheavan, where are you mate, prove me wrong?
And Bob Feller thinks this is bullsh*t as he should've won the first three times by Indians pitchers....those pussys.
1997 called, it wants it's 2008 Cy Young Award Winner website back.
Yeah, not bad so far, although in one category a handful of writers voted for someone who wasn't even eligible for the award. The thing is, outside of the NL CY, all of the races were way too obvious in every way for the voters to screw up. That almost as many voters left Halladay off the ballot as voted for him to win is not impressive though.
And when, in a few days, they give the NL MVP to a player who was only slightly better than average, they will lose any goodwill they may have earned.
Really, no one should get too worked up about it though. It's more amusing than anything else.
It's not going to happen.
