Josh Beckett Screwed Out Of 2007 AL Cy Young Award
It makes Josh Beckett and I very mad when the better pitcher gets the award! Well, according to Beckett, he thinks the better pitcher won, but I think he is lying (or in denial).
How does a pitcher, who is absolutely amazing, have the best winning record and all of the majors and still not receive the Cy Young Award. I guess I forgot the concept of baseball was to try and prevent the other team from scoring. Well, it is, but it is more important that you win the game. There is a chance that you may have the lowest ERA but still lose the game. Josh Beckett had 1 more win than C.C. Sabathia but watch out for the Innings Pitched because those are going to come back and bite him in the ass.
Sox1Fan.com wrote a great article about it and I could not agree more with him. Beckett got robbed.
