 Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2006 8:10 am Post subject: Webb 5-2 odds to win NL Cy Young |
 |
|
Sportsbook.com is the first to post odds for the 2006 Cy Young Awards. Pitchers worthy of a mention alongside the famed Denton "Cyclone" Young include the National League's Brandon Webb of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who despite a sore elbow in recent games is the top contender and a 5-2 bet. In the American League, Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay beat the Orioles Wednesday, joining Justin Verlander and Curt Schilling as the only 14-game winners in the AL. The native of Denver is the odds maker favorite at 3-1.

| Billy Wagner is the next one a 3-1? Are you kidding me? I don't have a problem with a closer winning hte Cy but he's gotta have an ERA way below 2.00 and the SP crop can't be that good that year. |

They know a majority of the voters are from NYC and therefore are completely oblivious to anything outside the Mets and Yankees...
I'm amazed Steve Traschel isn't on there...
He's won 11 games!

Makes sense. Stupid fucking New Yorkers. Let's look at the categories that Wagner doesn't lead all closers in:
ERA
WHIP
Saves
K's
Yes, great choice. |

| Webb's got quite a lead in IP and ERA even before you adjust for park, which is just amazing. Now, let's just hope this hiccup amounts to him recharging for a stretch run like last season. |

If Webb wins the Cy it's going to help me win a debate I had with a friend at the end of Webb's rookie year. He claimed that there's no way in hell Webb would become a successful #1 pitcher in the majors. I contended that once he worked on his control the sky's the limit. Now who's laughing?!  |

There's a thread called "Webb Cy Young?" that's been celebrating his Cy Young decision today since 8:44 this morning with 54 entries and 568 views. How many threads do you need for celebration?

Why should I have to wade through meaningless postings in a thread that does not interest me. It is no longer a question now, isn't it?
So, just how close was the vote? I haven't heard any news on this at all yet... Or do you want to scold me for polluting the board by bringing up an old thread?  |

Dude, take a Midol.
The answer to your question is in the thread.

I thought the voters consisted of two writers from each league city. Thus New York would have the same two votes in each league that any other team has.
