... If Brandon Webb keeps it up he might be the first Arizona Diamondback pitcher to repeat as Cy Young Award winner since Randy Johnson. He'd actually be the first pitcher for any team to win the award two years in a row since the Unit did the trick four times from 1999 to 2002.

I am Eric Byrnes. Are you? Well…maybe, not so much me, but this guy Eric O’brien from Tucson, AZ is Eric Byrnes. He also got to meet him and appeared on The Eric Byrnes Show. I blogged about this a few weeks ago, when EB was having his look-a-like contest. I have to admit though, this guy is spot on. He is Eric Byrne’s look-a-like.

Penny strong, but Dodgers fall in finale
