Tom Jones Is An Idiot: Felix Hernandez Most Certainly Deserved The Cy Young

[HuckleB]

This is really for all the idiots who think Hernandez didn't deserve it, but since this article is a dissection of Tom Jones's stupidity, he gets top billing. (And, no, I've never heard of Tom Jones before, either. Hopefully this will be the last time I hear of him.)

1. Great article. Or smackdown. Whichever you prefer.

:thumbsup:

2. Lord, I hate tools who value "Gritty, Grindy, and Clutchy"

more than rudimentary statistical evidence of a player's effectiveness. It's bad enough when they're the sports columnist in your local rag, but it's truly tragic when they're the management of the team you root for. Fucking Royals...

5. Well, the Royals have to market the team any way they can.

3. What does a fictional 17th century philanderer know about baseball!

Or an aging, hip-grinding Welshman?

I think Felix deserved it.

6. It's silly. Of course Hernandez deserved it.

Can you imagine what his win total would have been if he played for a major league team? :D
