Lee's signed through the 2010 season. No worries.

That's right, I forgot about the club option for 2010.

Somewhere, a car salesman is breathing a sigh of relief.

LOL! Sabres. Here's a question...

When was the last time (if ever) a team had back-to-back Cy Young winners that were Southpaws?

Maddux and Smoltz in 1995 and 1996?

 

[BillD1984]

Maddux and Smoltz in 1995 and 1996?

Ryan Howard got SCREWED!

I don't care if Pujols is a "great pure hitter."

When you fail to take your team to the playoffs, you don't deserve the award.

Remember, Howard carried the Phillies on his back in September while Pujols dd nothing in the final month.

I can't give the league MVP to a guy on a team that finished FOURTH IN HIS OWN DIVISION!
