Wow, I am pleased and amazed that The Greater beat out C.C. Congrats to him!
Are you kidding me? What kind of homer votes for Dave Robertson on his Cy Young ballot? I’d really like to know what 3 buffoons left Shields off the ballot entirely. That’s just nuts.
I’d also like to know that. YES a middle relief guy for Cy Young. His credentials should be pulled and politely shoved up his ass.
Politely? pleeeeez…..
Anyone see on MLB Network last night, they said there are Votto for Shields rumors? Haven’t seen those rumors on the internet anywhere though. Oh my gosh, I would cry, I’d be so happy to have Votto
Shields deserved second. But the right guy won the award. Congrats to Justin.
