I'm seeing on facebook that Maddon won MOY. That's the only correct answer here.

Maddons players saved him from being the next in line of curses. He tried to give away game 7. He is top 3, but not numero uno this year.

Hey had a bad 3 game run. Doesn't mean he doesn't deserve or that he wasn't the manager of the year.

Why does it take an hour to make two announcements? Good god, just name the damn winner!!

Roberts gets the nod. Well-deserved!

Cy Young Awards tomorrow.

My votes - Britton AL, Hendricks NL (I know Britton isn't a top 3 finalist, but I would've voted for him)
Probably will be - Porcello AL, Lester NL
But wouldn't be shocked if - Verlander AL, Scherzer NL

I know Britton had a great year , for what he does, but i really don't like to give the Cy Young to a relief pitcher(starters can't win the Relief pitcher award).

I'll go with Scherzer in the NL & Porcello in the AL(Though, i think the AL will be close w/Verlander, so i'm with you as i won't be shocked if Verlander wins it)

It actually is harder to win when you're expected to. From spring training the cubs were expected to be the best team. The proof is only a few teams that have finished the season with the best record has went on to win the world series

That's exactly why Boochy didn't win it this year.

Kyle Hendricks has been our #4 pitcher for 3 years. He's never been considered an ace, or even a #2. Lackey has never been an ace. So we have 2 aces. The Same amount of aces the Giants and the nationals have.

Have you missed the talk about Kyle all season? And he was moved up to #2 in the playoffs, over reigning CYA Jake "Five Innings" Arrieta. Kyle is the only "ace" we have; he's been our most consistent pitcher the last 3 seasons.

I'm well aware of what Kyle has done this season. But he was no more than a number 4 guy in the seasons prior. I know he's not a home grown product, but he's developed into a great pitcher. He wasn't "bought" like lester was. His numbers in prior seasons are average at best.

Edit: his first year with the cubs was good. Last year, he was average.

Scherzer in a landslide. I'm not surprised he won, but I am surprised he won by that big of a margin.

Unbelievable. How many times has the guy that led the league in era not won the cy young?

Scherzer led in K & WHIP, 11 of the last 15 to do so have won the Cy Young. Hard to argue him winning it... he also led the league in wins, starts, innings, and k/bb ratio.

The two idiots who didn't even put Lester on their ballots need their writing privileges revoked.

Although the last pitcher to lead the league in HR and win the Cy Young was Fergie in 1971. But this year is all about ending droughts, right?

i saw that. freaking awesome. he got 14 1st places votes to 8 for Porcello and 2 writers didn't have Verlander on their ballots at all.

"Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to f**k @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?"
