My hometown Royals don't have an offense but we do have ZACK GREINKE!!
8-1, 0.84 ERA, 81 K, 12 BB (!!), ZERO (0) HR allowed and FIVE (5) Complete Games.
He's a flake, but here in KC, we love the rascal!!!

Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

Long season. I like Halladay a lot, but im rooting for Greinke to keep it up. HE struggled a few years back and they sent him back down to the minors. he was very good last year and he is sensational this year.

I went to the Rangers/Royals game where he was matched up against Kevin Millwood. Both pichters went the distance and the Royals won 2-0. Amazing performances by both but Greinke was making the Rangers hitters look foolish. Not easy to do especially in that ballpark in Arlington.

someone just brought me a stack of sports illustrateds at work, and the greinke issue is on the top. i'll be reading it as soon as i have a free moment (except for now... i'm busy surfing the internet).
i'm not knocking zack... i think that he's a phenomenal player, and he's been among my top pitchers over the past few years in my fantasy leagues. he deserves all the accolades and recognition that he is now getting. he's easily the top pitcher right now, and should be for more years to come.
with that said, i'm sure he'll hit a rough patch, and halladay will make a strong push. i have a feeling that in the end it'll be close, and the race for cy young will come down to these two phenoms. my hope however is that the doc gets it... which probably correlates with me being a huge jays fan.
it's gonna be fun watching these two this season. i love great pitching.'
at least we can all agree that aj burnett is not gonna be in the running this year.

Sorry, but there is no touching Greinke so far this season. He hasn't allowed a single home run all year! His era is ridiculous, he wins with absolutely no offense behind him... the guy is unbelievable. And I say this as a die hard Tigers fan that had to suffer through watching the man dismantle his fav team last night.
Well, the Tigers are having no problems today. 8-3 in the top of the 8th. UGH!
too bad we can't clone Zack :twisted:

Just goes to show how incredible he is... the Tigers have quite an offense... 19 runs in 2 games against the Royals? But when Greinke steps on the mound... 1 run.
Speaking of the Cardinals(I'm a fan), their whole staff has been LIGHTS OUT lately.
16-8, 2.06 and for a team that has lost over 90 games. Who knows what his record might have been if he had pitched for a decent ball club.
Go Zack!!

I must agree he looks like the front runner here.
He has better numbers then CC Sabathia & Roy Halladay across the board. The only thing i could say for them is they plays in a division that is tougher, but I don't think you can make a case on that.
Zack seems very deserving and he has been rock solid all year. It would be great for him to win.

I'm just happy that CC lived up to his contract(so far) and hopefully will be better in the postseason than he's been in the past!
Can you imagine Greinke's numbers in the NL.....Scary
As you alluded to, can CC live up to that contract through 2015 ... 2015!
"I don't believe in damn curses. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I'll drill him in the ass." --- Pedro Martinez
He's the real deal
no doubt ... but, 6 more years? a guy like that will inevitably be hurt, the question is, how bad and what willhe be like when he returns?
"I don't believe in damn curses. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I'll drill him in the ass." --- Pedro Martinez
If they can win one or two with him anchoring the rotation, the investment would be worth it. I'm more concerned with Burnett. That dudes got great stuff, but 80 something million for a career .500 pitcher, thats rolling the dice a bit
CC is a horse...but i do agree throwing that much $$ at pitching is high risk, hopefully high reward.
At least he aint Mike Hampton
or Barry Zito.

Barry was getting that nasty curveball back at the end of the year. I think its been a mental thing with him, next year will be big for him. Whether or not he can salvage some good years by the bay
The list is endless. Especially in Baseball, that contract is like Ed says
GUARANTEED!!

How could I forget. But his contract was no where near Zito and Hampton
