Two in a Row for Tribe! Cliff Lee wins AL Cy Young!
The Tribe Daily —
... It's a shame four writers out there weren't bright enough to realize that even though Roy Halladay put together a fabulous season, Cliff Lee deserved every single vote. Halladay received four first place votes, which means Lee got 24 out of 28 first placers. ...

Lookout Landing —
Item One: Cliff Lee wins the AL Cy Young. Cliff Lee is certainly deserving, though perhaps a touch less than Roy Halladay given their slate of batters faced. The voters, predictably, didn't see it that way, giving Lee the edge 24-4 in first place votes. Fine, whatever. Here's the inexcusable part though, three voters didn't even put Roy Halladay on their ballot! Uncredible.
Item Two: Marlins keep dumping payroll. The Marlins traded arbitration-eligible Kevin Gregg to the Cubs for minor-leaguer Jose ...

Where's Your 20?
True Blue LA —
... *There were two 20-win seasons involving multiple teams. In 1984, Rick Sutcliffe won 20 games for the Indians and Cubs (along with the NL Cy Young Award). In 2002, Bartolo Colon won 20 games for the Indians and Expos. What is it with the Indians trading away these 20-game winners midseason?
