I'll be at Gio's house around 4:30 updating the madness that will go on! Was told there is supposed to be a ton of reporters, etc at all 3 finalists houses.

Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

calculusdork · 11-14-2012, 11:42 AM

Soooo what time is the announcement?

Hal Bodley: NL Cy Young Award belongs to Gio Gonzalez | MLB.com: News

That's what separates Gio Gonzalez from his competitors."

And leave you with this article:

Debating Clayton Kershaw, R.A. Dickey, David Price, Justin Verlander and other Cy Young candidates - MLB - ESPN

Here is hoping the voters actually took half a second to think about this year and understand that clearly Kershaw and Dickey were better pitchers this year than Gio.

btimm · 11-14-2012, 02:12 PM

ESPN seems to think Gio should finish a distant 3rd as well ...

MLB - 2012 NL Cy Young - ESPN

I think we fell back to hating.....

stang66dad · 11-14-2012, 05:03 PM

So an hour and a half from now RA will be the first knuckler to win the Cy??? Sound about right?

stormshadow815 · 11-14-2012, 05:07 PM

I think Dickey walks away with this, but I wont be upset if Kershaw pulls it out. That guy is just amazing.

armyatc22 · 11-14-2012, 05:08 PM

All I'm hearing from a lot of people on espn is that Gio should win it

armyatc22 · 11-14-2012, 05:10 PM

Also no way does Verlander beat out Price in my eyes

Were these the anchor(wo)men? The voters they have on contract have Dickey Kershaw and a distant Gio. I think saying he SHOULD get it is some biased spin, all of three SHOULD get it, for different reasons, but only one can get it.

Legitimate reasons please. Price couldn't do what Verlander does, given the substantially larger amount of innings pitched and batters faced for Verlander.

Fixed it. Reads much better now.

Swingman · 11-14-2012, 06:05 PM

Watch party for Gio in a local restaurant around where we grew up. MLB Network is here... Should be interesting, regardless of what happens, hell of a year for all 3 candidates.

Alotta ball players in the house here supporting.

Swingman · 11-14-2012, 06:10 PM

The kid is nervous! Haha

Bars and Bar · 11-14-2012, 06:11 PM

I hope Clayton Kershaw wins.

jbellis74 · 11-14-2012, 06:15 PM

1) RA Dickey - Dickey is only the third NL pitcher to post a 20-win season on a losing team in the past 30 years.
2) Clayton Kershaw - Among NL starters, Kershaw finished with the most WAR, a number only slightly below his Cy Young-winning total in 2011.
3) Gio Gonzalez - Gonzalez led the NL in wins (21) and in Fielding Independent Pitching (2.82) and lowered his ERA for the fifth consecutive season.
4) Craig Kimbrel - Kimbrel had the lowest FIP (0.78) since 1900 and the most K's per nine innings (16.7) during a single season in MLB history.

30 mins to go
