The guy who won, Tim Lincecum, was more than worthy but the second place guy, Brandon Webb, only got second because [...]

But you’re not the NL Cy Young winner this year. It pains me to say this because I’m a big fan of yours. Really. I’ve come to see you pitch in person at least six times this year and each time I’ve marvelled at your ability to make Major League lineups look silly. This year [...]

It started innocently enough, a simple comment on a Big Lead post. Innocently indeed, until the Big Kahuna caught wind of it.

Brandon Webb helped the Diamondbacks beat the Sillies 8-3 Thursday to end the 4 game set in Arizona. The teams each won 2 games in the series, as the Phils pounded out 23 runs to the D-Backs 22. The D-Backs are a young and fun team to watch. Let’s take a look see [...]
