With this no-dec. Dunno about his Cy chances.

I do not give a s*** about Buehrle and the Cy Young Award. IMO that boat sailed after his loss at home to Santana.

Get off the Kool Aid, He'll be lucky to be in the top 8

 

 

I can give a Rodants Arse about the Cy Young. I want the World Series

You couldn't pay me to vote Buehrle for cy-young. He's crapped his pants against every elite team he's faced. He even looks dumber for the "the Rangers are stealing signs" comment then he did before.

he will be in the top 5 who is better? Colon maybe but his ERA isn't as good. Buehrle has the best ERA in the AL. Santana to little to late. Rivera's team probably won't see the playoffs. Halladay isn't gonna qualify. So you tell me how he stays out of the top 5.

Bartolo Colon, Jon Garland, Mariano Rivera, Johan Santana. All have been better than Buehrle...Colon and Garland all around, Rivera having an outstanding year all around, and Santana being the ONLY reason Minnesota even has a chance in hell at the playoffs.

 

That puts Buehrle at exactly 5. Include the best pitcher on the Wild Card team statistically, or the one who has had the best second half(looking at Sabathia, Lee, RJ, Mussina, Zito) and that knocks Buehrle right the hell out of there. Hell, perhaps there is a chance Hermanson/Nathan/KRod/Street could knock him out of the top 5 too.

 

Buehrle's not a lock to make the top 5, and probably won't...and there's no guarantee he'll be top 8 either.

The only one to blame for this is Buerhle, he has not pitched well against good teams. He needs to get himself straighten up this september bcoz we need him badly.

mark buehrle is not winning the cy young

Colon or Rivera will win. Garland will come in 4th. Colon, Rivera, Santana, Garland. May even add Cliff Lee in there too

but Buehrle has the top ERA in the AL.

but Buehrle has the top ERA in the AL.

 

 

Just Because he has the Best ERA he's the CY YOUNG? Take the blindfolds off he ain't winning it

but Buehrle has the top ERA in the AL.

Once again no he doesn't.

Buehrle has the 2nd best ERA in the AL (I dont count Halladay since he's out for the season), and he gets much less run support than Santana, or any other pitching in the running gets.

Once again no he doesn't.

Halladay is going to be out of qualifying pretty soon. I think in the next couple days or so.

Halladay won't qualify cause he's got 140 Innings and you have to have an inning for each game played by your team. The only way is that the season would end today and that ain't happening

I guess whether he wins the Cy or gets 20 wins isn't that big of a deal to me. I just want this team to win and play well in the playoffs. Hopefully get to the World Series and win it.

Millwood is lower.

oh ok. The paper said Buehrle. by .02.

You sure it didn't say trailing by 0.02?

 

Millwood - 3.11

Buehrle - 3.13

Sadly Garland choked away his CY Young chances today against the Angels... We got to see this years CY Young Bartolo Colon in action though...

Choke???

 

Why is it that a player has a bad game and he chokes? Sheesh cut them some slack, if it was up to a few here the Darn team would go 162-0 and if they would go 161-1 some would still b**** :banghead

Whether it was a bad game, choking, or what...here's what matters...both Garland and Buehrle had bad games when they needed to have good games.

 

Both Garland and Buehrle are basically out of the Cy Young race.

 

Right now, there is no more reason not to go with the 6 man rotation for the last motnh of the season. Get the kid some more work (see if he can make a run at Herschiser's 56 inning streak while we're at it), and save the arms of our starters more. There is no more reason not to do it.

 

And following up a 7 game winning streak with a 3 game losing streak is plenty of a reason to b*tch, IMHO.

Jeckle is right. Buehrle and Garland have both choked on big fat ones. This is a playoff like series. And what have our two best pitchers done? I have no faith in either of these guys come playoffs. And that's if we make it. If the Indians win tonight, they're 6 1'2 games out with 6 games still to play against us. These next few weeks might get very ugly.

Today's matchup was a key battle of American League Cy-Young candidates. This series was touted as both a possible playoff preview and the duel of two tremendous pitchers (Colon/Garland).

 

Remember how one matchup, one game, can change perception of a player. We all knew Rowand was a great defensive outfielder; but it took one series at New York for the national media to catch on. Due to the heightened exposure surrounding Rowand he may win a Golden Glove because of those three games alone.

 

This matchup was shown nationally and billed as "two of American League's best pitches squaring off." Garland BLEW IT. Choked. His Cy-Young was lost this afternoon. Anyone on the fence completely shifted towards Colon after Garland's crapfest.
