D-Backs' Webb Voted NL Cy Young Winner
Arizona Right-Hander Edges Hoffman in Close Vote
AP
NEW YORK (Nov. 14) -- Brandon Webb of the Arizona Diamondbacks won a wide-open race for the NL Cy Young Award, beating out San Diego closer Trevor Hoffman on Tuesday.

One of six pitchers who tied for the league lead with a pedestrian total of 16 wins, Webb received 15 of 32 first-place votes and 103 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Hoffman, who broke the career saves record last season, got 12 first-place votes and 77 points.

St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter , last year's winner, finished third with two first-place votes and 63 points. Houston 's Roy Oswalt , who led the NL with a 2.98 ERA, got the other three first-place tallies and came in fourth.

Webb, who went 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA and made his first All-Star team, was listed second on seven ballots and third on seven others. No pitcher was included on every entry.

Webb's victory total was the lowest for a starting pitcher who won the Cy Young Award in a full season. The previous low was 17 wins, by Pedro Martinez of the Montreal Expos in 1997 and Randy Johnson for Arizona in '99.

Enough of Bobby Knight?

I guess the hope was he had outgrown his negative behavior.
But last night he showed he is still having public temper tantrum, and is a bully.
Hasn't he had too many chances? He is an anti-role model.
No sport, or team, is worth the terrible example he is - he is in fact a serious detriment and needs to go.
Your thoughts?

Why r the sox willing to drop 42 on Matsuzaka?

Is this guy anygood. With Beckett and Schilling is their any chance he'll even be a top 3 starter in the rotation. Why drop so much on a guy that isnt that great especially if their is a guy like Zito on the market. Also what is the chance that Matsuzaka actually signs with Boston.

Why should Rutgers play in the championship game against Ohio State (or Michigan)?

i mean if they are the only other D1. team undeafeated...why not?
You can't go and tell them they cant play b/c that means that not only rutgers but anyother small D1 school will never be able to get a deacent football team or player...who want to play for a team who will never make it to a national championship?

Thoughts?
