I'll tell you what, Johan Santana of the Twins sure would get my vote for the AL Cy Young Award. Yesterday, he tossed eight innings of scoreless ball in a Minnesota win, becoming the first pitcher in baseball to win 17 games. Santana is undefeated since the All-Star break (8-0) and is one of the main reasons why the Twins are currently in position to make the playoffs. He's the best pitcher in baseball, plain and simple. Do you agree?

I agree. He would have to fall apart to lose the Cy Young at this point. He did to the Devil Rays what you should do-shut them down. All of the contenders have been nothing special as of late, Halladay, Wang, Schilling. Only Garland of the White Sox remains in the mix in my opinion.

[EmpireWF]

There's no other pitcher in the AL who can contend with what Santana has done this season. Perhaps only Halladay but Santana will win over him b/c of the circumstances with the Twins and Bluejays...one playoff contending, the other not.

I can already see little children wearing white and red T-Shirts that say, "Vote for Johan!". It would be as big of a hit as the popular clothing that was based on the dumb-comedy, Napolean Dynamite. I don't know why everyone falls in love with movies about people who are mentally-challenged!
