Dominican Wins Cy Young Award!!
Dominican born and Los Angeles Angels pitcher, Bartolo Colon, won the Cy Young award yesterday making him the "best" pitcher in the American League.
With a record of 21 wins and 8 loses, Colon received 118 votes. Panamanian Mariano Rivera recieved 68 and Venezuelan Johan Santana received 51.
Not bad!.

Colon helped guide the Angels to the west division titile and the divisional series win over the Yankees.
Congrats to Colon. His contract states that if he won the cy young, he would get an extra $500K. Not bad at all!

Makes him the Cy Young Award winner, not necessarily the best in Baseball, what about the National League winner. How do now distinquish the Best, they both won the Cy Young Award? He didnt fare to well in playoffs if my mind serves me right.

I don't know if you are quoting me but if you are:
On my post, I never, ever said that he was the best in baseball. If you go back and re-read my post, I wrote "making him the "best" pitcher in the American League". Note where it says "American League". Also note how I wrote best, I wrote "best".
If the Writers Association Of America say that he is the best in the American League, that works for me.

YES, did very well in the regular season.But he got shelled and then come up with the excuse to get the.....HOOK on his own behalf.... just another BUUUM LIKE MANNY.
Will probably never know who is the best due to judging.

Why are you calling him names?.
I am not a big fan of his but he is a good pitcher, fat or not!.
I gather that you are not Dominican, right?. If you were, you would be a little happy for the guy, fat bastard or not.
Btw, his mother and father are together so that makes him NOT a bastard.
Btw 2, that "fat bastard" like you call him, is a multi-millonaire that won a great award that will put another 500,000 dollars in his bank account.
Trust me, many would love to switch places with that "fat bastard" right now.
Ps: Don't come back saying that you said it as a joke. To Dominicans, it was not a joke!.
Ps 2: Can we stick to the topic?.

Colon won despite an injured back during the season. He pitched through a lot of pain. And he lead the Angels to the western division title.
If Colon was not in the Angels team, then the A's would have won the division.
A well-deserved award for Colon.

Talk about player hatin'
I can't wait for the "world series" to take place. When is that supposed to happen anyhow? The DR will have in its roster a bunch of BUUUM's like you call them, such as Pedro, Bartolo, Manny, Pujols, Vladimir, Soriano, A-Rod (maybe), etc...
Yep a whole team of BUUUMS...I'm sure we'll end up at the bottom of the playoffs...
