After blazing through the first five against Minnesota, Zack Greinke allowed four runs in the bottom of the sixth, with a big bases-loaded double off the bat of Delmon Young. That's good news for Felix. What's bad news for Felix is that the Royals erased the 4-0 deficit, taking Greinke off the hook for the loss, but I'd say that, overall, today helped the King more than it hurt. Greinke will finish at 16-8 with a 2.16 ERA while Felix has a shot at 19-5 with sub-2.50, and while that's just a completely retarded way to determine the best pitcher in the league, it may turn out to be retarded in our favor. Like Bill Leavy and the Steelers.
The 2001 Mariners were the best team in baseball, but the DBacks got the hardware. Felix doesn't deserve this award as much as Greinke does, but should he go on to win it, I think I'll manage.

That pretty much sums up my sentiments exactly...
Even if pop-baseball analysis is flawed and based on stupid inaccuracies; Why shouldn’t that bias work for us sometimes?
I have no personal investment in Greinke’s happiness despite his being the best pitcher in baseball this year, Felix is different. That’s not fair or analytical on my part, but it’s true.

And after three and a half years somebody has connected my favorite thing ever with my least favorite.
Thank You.

Super Bowl XL wasn't your least favorite thing ever?
Wilder. - October 3, 2009
I'm a huge homer when it comes to Felix, so I say fuck Greinke
gregrabble - October 3, 2009
Yeah! Irrationality!
Fuck reason!
The Typical Idiot Fan - October 3, 2009
We sure could get a lot for a Cy Young winner
Dewey N - October 3, 2009
Who do you think we could get?
Robert - October 3, 2009
Zach Greinke!
You know the Royals have a hard on for M’s. Trade Felix for Greinke and their 3 best prospects!.. just kidding everyone.
Docmilo - October 3, 2009
I thought you were serious
gregrabble - October 3, 2009
If Felix won the Cy Young that actually would not stun me
Corco - October 3, 2009
I think there is no doubt Greinke is winning the Cy Young Award.
I have yet to read anything otherwise. I just hate hearing Verlander and Sabathia being touted more than Felix.
Wilder. - October 3, 2009
Verlander has a better FIP than Felix
Jeff Sullivan - October 3, 2009
But
Fuck him.
marinerdan - October 3, 2009
Fuck Jeff
What’s the point of bringing up something like that on a site like this?
Docmilo - October 3, 2009
Yeah fuck Jeff
Robert - October 3, 2009
I'm puzzled by this comment.
Eyeball Kid - October 3, 2009
Pretty sure it was supposed to be a reply to Jeff's comment about Verlander
gregrabble - October 3, 2009
Ah ok
that makes sense.
Eyeball Kid - October 3, 2009
Or a reply to the Bill Leavy thing
Jeff Sullivan - October 3, 2009
That also makes sense.
I should pay more attention.
Eyeball Kid - October 3, 2009
You are a ginormous tool
Robert - October 3, 2009
You are a troll
Jeff Sullivan - October 3, 2009
No he is a gnome
Poochie - October 3, 2009
Your website is a troll
Dewey N - October 3, 2009
Indeed
Robert - October 4, 2009
Good news!
