Explain how you think CC will be the Cy Young Winner.
Finished top 3 in voting two years in a row, lost like 25 pounds, has his opt out coming up so he's potentially pitching for a big contract with the Yankees or with someone else, hopefully with the Yankees

No way the Tigers finish behind the Twins this year. They might not even finish behind the White Sox. Its going to be close between us and Chicago, but I definitely don't see us behind Minnesota.

Not really a fan of the Tigers team at all. Your SS, 2B, 3B, C, and LF are all sub-par and your rotation is full of question marks after Verlander and Scherzer. Your bullpen looks like it has the potential to be a strength but who knows of Joaquin Benoit was just a one-year wonder or if he'll keep up his incredible performance in Tampa. Not to mention who knows if you guys are even going to have Miggy to start the season because of all this alcohol stuff.

FYI Bleacher, remember saying I was retarded for making a prediction of Lester winning the CY Young? I found a few articles that had the same prediction.

I never said you were retarded for predicting it, but you're only getting on me for picking CC because I'm a Yankees fan, which is retarded because he's one of the best pitchers in the league, then you turn around and pick Lester for the Cy

Oh really?

You and Pugz say I'm annoying, clearly everyone

I love how you pick Mr. Cancer for the Cy Young yet question my CC pick, dumb as fuck
SMH, all I asked was you to explain why, I didn't agree but didn't go attack you.

Yes, I'm saying that you picking Lester, yet questioning my CC pick is dumb, not saying picking Lester is dumb

I questioned it, just asked for your reasoning. I didn't go off on you.

Probably one of the worst nicknames you can come up with for someone.
