A blow to cynics who criticize the AL East centered nature of baseball today. By which I mean, I am surprised.

Sure. The game in TX was in June. His May line was pretty fine.

I don’t trust anyone to ever notice us is all. He deserves it, I just didn’t think he’d get it.

It’s hard to ignore a 0.64 ERA.

Let's Go 2009!

Wow. I thought for sure it’d be a Bos/Ny guy.

While you have to love seeing Cliffey and Laffey getting nods for their performances, it’s hard not to feel a wisp of regret that our year is still in severe danger of slipping beneath the waves, regardless of our pitching depth. Grrr.

But mauichuck said:

“Laffey has no shot at RotM – none, zero as long as there is any other option associated with either the Yankees or the Red Sox.”

Sometimes its good to be wrong.

I’m stunned. Who wouldda thought that merit would creep into the voting. I may hafta re-calibrate my percieved ESPN/BoSox/Yankees bias – nah, this was just a fluke.
