R.A. Dickey

Former Twins Knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey, is having a Cy Young type season for the Mets. His record is 20-6 and his ERA is just 2.69. He's the first knuckle ball pitcher in over 30 years to have that many wins. He gets his last start of the season today against the Marlins. IF he wins, it would be hard not giving him the award.

It's too bad the Twins couldn't have found a place on the roster for him.

Did I mention that ANOTHER former Twins starter is also having a Cy Young type season? Kyle Loshe (one of my all-time favorite Twins) has put together a monster season of his own for the Cardinals. His record is 16-3 and his ERA is just 2.89. Say what you will about the Twins and their management style, they could NEVER judge good pitching. They've let so many good starters get away over the years that's it's no longer funny.
