Yes, the Bob Wickman according to Dave Revsine on Sportscenter.

 

He gave that list to Harold Reynolds. Nevermind that Buehrle fellow, or even that dude who broke his leg (Halladay or somethin'). :rolly

 

 

BTW, Harold didn't disappoint and picked Rivera. :headshake

I challenge anyone to give me one good reason why Bob Wickman should even be considered for AL Cy Young. Other than the fact that he has a couple more saves than Hermanson and Rivera.

I'm not a real big proponent of closers getting the CY unless they've been otherworldly.

Perhaps it is because Wickman has warriors on his side.

Revsine is a Sox fan.... Garland, but no Buehrle?

What are the chances that Revsine is writing that s*** anyway. I doubt he's comming up with the subject matter for segments.

Relievers have their award--Rolaids Relief.

 

Gagne received the award, amongst controversy, and he was absolutely dominant with a 50+ game save streak which extended the entire season.

 

I don't care how 'money' Rivera has been, he doesn't deserve the Cy Young. Buehlre and Garland both deserve more consideration than him. It will be an absolute travesty if Rivera wins. Yankees might not even make the playoffs!

Did Thigpen get the Cy Young the year he broke the save record?? Cause if that doesn't get it for him then no closer should get it IMO. I would have to say that demolishing the old save record by what 15 or so?? That is otherworldly wouldnt you say?

I agree. It's kind of like rewarding a really good pinch hitter. Someone who performs very well in high pressure situations but isn't playing the rest of the game.

The best was Harold's reason for picking Mariano Riviera. He says he won't pick pick either Buehrle or Garland just because the White Sox are in first. He says it should be given to someone on pitching ability. Fine. But then he goes on to say the reason he picks Mariano is because he is winning ball games for the Yanks and keeping them in contention .

No, he did not get it that year. Only like 9 relief pitchers have earned it in history...2 in the last 15 years...Gagne and the Eck.

Because Buehrle and Garland haven't done anything whatsoever to keep the Sox in contention or win ballgames for them.

No, the offense is winning games for the White Sox.

its kinda early to tell. Sanata won his last year on the strength of his pitching in the second half and same thing with Holliday the year beofre when they should have given it to Estaban Loiza.

 

 

i think garland will get it if he holds up, but i personally would like to see Mark get it.

I'm amazed you didn't spell any of the names of those pitchers correctly. (except Garland of course)

 

On Loaiza, he lost the Cy Young because of 1 game...the team desperately needed a win over the Twins to start a series against them, and Manuel sent Loaiza out with a cold when I believe the rest of the staff was on normal rest because of an off day. Loaiza was shelled. He lost the Cy Young race that day. The Sox were swept by the Twins that series, and we fell apart from that moment on.

yeah sorry about all the names not spelled right, thats what i get for typing in a hurry and not double checking.

 

I dont mean to be disrespectful of these fine players.
