A Little Yahoo! loving for Cain

A few of their guys picked him as either dark horse cy young, or cy young in waiting. One even picked him for comeback of the year.

Comeback?

Doesn't that require not having a good season? Or are we still stuck on W/L as measurement? If so, don't count on a comeback.

No offense, but that's pretty dumb considering that Cy Young is mostly an OMG WINZZZ award.

(See: Colon, Bartolo circa '05)

Cain will be lucky to hit double digit wins.

although the sheer rarity of pairing a 2.30 ERA with a 20-loss season might earn him a few votes

"he walked 18; new league record! Struck out 18, another new league record! He also hit the sportswriter, the PA announcer, the bull mascot twice..."

are you

kidding me? comeback of the year?

W/L is the absolute worst statistic ever invented. ever.

I sure wish that Ort Cloud would form a solid sphere to enter into this team's orbit.

Don't call it a comeback!

he had a very nice season last year. He'll be good this year. Unfortunately, he's not likely to get as much run support this season, so...

Bonds stands alone.

You beat me to the LL Cool J ref! Damn!

Democracy is lovely but baseball is more mature. BVCE supports Manny Burriss and SF Dugout.

As stated already a few times, it's good to see Steve Henson identify himself as someone who doesn't understand how the game of baseball works. It's rare to see that type of honesty
