Doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. Gonna be another fun game to watch. Carl Crawford doesnt get the recognition he deserves.

Baggino said:
almost as laughable as AJ Burnett being the best pitcher in the AL.

Two months don't mean jack sht when it comes to Cy Young, an award that is based on season performance not two months.

Get over it, there is a better pitcher that doesn't play on the Yankees and it's Zach Greinke hands down..

Sabathia: 16-7, 3.48 ERA, 2 CG, 1 SHO, 199.1 IP, 167 K, 50 BB, 1.134 WHIP
Greinke: 13-8, 2.32 ERA, 6 CG, 3 SHO, 190.1 IP, 202 K, 40 BB, 1.077 WHIP

BUT, since that's not going to do anything for you, i'll use your argument. Last 2 months (July-August)

Sabathia: 8-3, 3.56 ERA, 0 CG, 83.1 IP, 80 K, 18 BB
Greinke: 3-5, 2.88 ERA, 1 CG, 75 IP, 88 K, 22 BB

W/L don't mean jack when you play for teams that can score 10 runs at any given moment
I bolded the stuff that actually shows who the better pitcher is, not who plays on the team that gives the most run support. The only thing CC is better at is pitching more innings.

Kind of funny that Greinke has only one more loss, yet he plays on the worst team in baseball, compared to CC on the best team.

Beckett lead the league in wins during the 2007 season...where's his Cy Young?

Papelbon has a better record, more games finished, and more innings pitched...he's better than Rivera.

Kleenex in aisle 4
8.5 games back and will be nine after we sweep the doubleheader.

Kleenex in aisle 4. Brooms in aisle 5.

BREAKING NEWS: Carlos Pena out for the year. Took a pitch to the hand and broke his index finger.

Lol, I'd love to see CC play for a team that didn't give him run support like the Royals. I'd like to see how many wins he'd have then.

I didn't say anything about the Red Sox or Yankees..just players

Now, you're not even trying..come on, you're better than this. It looses all value if you're not going to even stay on topic.

Who knows? But CC has been near untouchable over the last two months, coming at the right time.

Mets play the Marlins. We have to win another series after winning one in like 2 months.

Mets lost tonight in Beltrans return. Bumgarner pitched very well for the Giants tonight for his MLB debut.

lol Dodgers hit into 5 double plays.
so frustrating to watch.

Billy Buckner was shutting us down.

then in the 8th and 2 outs, Juan Pierre pinch hit.
he hit a DP ball, but he's fast so he beat the throw.
that close to 6 DP

but because of his speed and hustle, the Dodgers ended up scoring 4 runs to take the lead 5-4 and win

Streak ends at 6. Sucks that we lost but what sucks even more is Porcello didn`t get his 13th win. He will get more chances though. JV up for Game 2, in search of win #17.

The Rangers are really fighting the Red Sox for the Wild Card. They have had a great year and if you think about it the are right up there with the surprise team of the year, along with the Rockies.

they still need some better pitching though, it's cost them quite a few games
