Jon Garland > You.

 

Jermaine Dye > You.

 

And it really doesn't matter who you are, those 2 statements hold true.

 

Dye needs 1 RBI to hit 100.

Let's take this momentum to the twinkies.

John Garland > You.

Jon

 

 

Great all-around game for the team

Jon Garland = MAN and Sox ace

I don't even want to think about where this team would be without Jon Garland right now. Pure and utter dominance today. Can you believe his era is at 4.47 now? Can he get it under 4? That would be miraculous when you consider how he started the season.

 

Jermaine Dye: You're a very good baseball player.

Hmmm... this new batting order/lineup... hmmm...

Garland now 15-4 with a 4.47 ERA on August 24th. This is the same man that was 4-3 with a 6.19 ERA on June 12th. What a turnaround.

At some point Jon and Cy Young have to be talked about. He's tied for second in wins, but his ERA will probably keep discussion to a minimum unless something magical happens between now and the end of the season

Jon would have to pitch like he is now for the rest of the season to even be in the discussion. We'd also have to get into the playoffs.

Nate Robertson entered July at 8-3 with a 3.14 ERA. He is now 11-10 with a 4.10 ERA. Regression to the means is a biatch.

He'd have to keep up this pace he's on now, which means he'd finish about 20-5 with an ERA of 3.80 or so. Still a long shot.

Goddamn do I love Jon Garland.

 

It's days like these that make me happy we endured those days of 2003 suckitude

We forget, he came up fast. It is easy to believe he hasn't even reached his prime. The next 5-8 years could be special.

Great game all around. Pitching, offense, and defense. We left on this 7 game roadtrip 6.5 out, go 3-4, and come home 5.5 out. Sure it could have been better, but it is what it is and I'll take it. Good momentum going into the Twins series, and call me crazy if you want, but I have a strange feeling Vazquez is gonna pitch a gem.

Wins should mean nothing for Cy Young's. There are people like Bonderman who could have 16 or 17, but have 10 or 11 because of poor run support. Same goes the other way.

 

Anyhow, Tigers sucked today. End of story.

One of the Tiger fans on this site did predict before the series started that the Tigers would win the first 2 and the Sox the final 2.

He'd have to keep up this pace he's on now, which means he'd finish about 20-5 with an ERA of 3.80 or so. Still a long shot.

For Garland to get to an ERA of 3.8, he'd have to give up roughly 3 runs in his next 50 innings. He should have about 7 starts left.

The reason it's called the "CY YOUNG" award is because the player it's named after had more wins than anyone in history. It would be ignorant to say that W's mean nothing.

Rolaids Relief is named after an antacid . . .

 

I do agree though, winning is the name of the game.

I luv Jon, but no way...maybe if various team planes of other contenders crash, but even then only it can't be a post-mortem award...

How about for a guy with a line of 8-1 2.69 ERA 1.19 WHIP 4.39 K/9 and nearly a 4 K/BB since the beginning of July, while also being the only form of consistent(ly good) pitching on his entire team?

 

15-4 looks a hell of a lot better when you consider how pisspoor he started out th year.

I must have typoed. I mean to say wins SHOULDN'T win anything.

i just want him to keep pitching good and have the other pitchers start pitching at least a little better.

JG and JD=$$

 

Big win

I just meant to be in the discussion. He would have to throw 5 or 6 more complete game shut-outs to actually have a chance at winning it.

And all that has come against good hitting teams. Even the Royals.
