May 2, 200520 yr Congrats Jon! http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Jon Garland named American League Pitcher of the Month for April Pitcher also named AL co-Player of the Week CHICAGO -- Right-handed pitcher Jon Garland of the Chicago White Sox has been named American League Pitcher of the Month for April and AL co-Player of the Week with New York's Alex Rodriguez for April 25-May 1. Garland, 25, went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA (6 ER/30.0 IP) and one shutout in four starts during the month. He led the AL in ERA and runners per 9.0 IP (7.8) and tied for the lead in wins, quality starts (four) and opponents average (.200). Garland threw his second consecutive shutout on Sunday vs. Detroit, becoming the first White Sox pitcher to accomplish that feat since Jack McDowell in September 1991. The outing extended his consecutive scoreless IP streak to 23.0, the longest by a Sox starter since Mark Buehrle went 24.2 in 2001. Garland opened the week by throwing a four-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory at Oakland on April 25. For the season, the 6-foot-6, 215-pounder is 5-0 with a 1.38 ERA (6 ER/ 39.0 IP) and two shutouts. He leads the AL in eight major categories: wins, ERA, shutouts, opponents average (.185), on-base percentage (.220) and slugging percentage (.252), runners per 9.0 IP (7.15) and quality starts (five). Garland also is tied for the lead in complete games and tied for second in home runs allowed per 9.0 IP (0.23). Garland, the first five-game winner in the AL and the first White Sox pitcher to win his first five starts since Esteban Loaiza in 2003, has won his last seven starts dating back to last season, compiling a 1.52 ERA (9 ER/53.1 IP). Garland is the first Sox pitcher to win the AL monthly award since Mark Buehrle in May 2004 and the first Sox pitcher named AL Player of the Week since Bartolo Colon on September 8-14, 2003.

I'm a Garland backer, check out the post history, it's there. In fact, I was the first to argue he turned the corner this season. (Wait, wait, before you even start MoS, I know you're his biggest fan and you've always loved him and he's the best thing since sliced bread; I'm referring to this season). That said, "Cy Garland?" :headshake Before you know it, we'll have "We Got Wood" shirts and we'll start blowing up baseballs. Oh, another thing: rest assured, I'm quite relaxed.
