Group Blog
I noticed in the comments section, there seems to be a decent amount of support for a group blog. I need the people who are interested in it to send me an email, preferably with some names for it. joshcroyle@gmail.com

Since I spent a lot of time on it and I don’t want it getting lost in another post, I finally finished my Cy Young standings based on my PPP metric*:
Sabathia 1.80
Lincecum 1.91
Dempster 1.99
Webb 2.04
Santana 2.21
Volquez 2.25
Hamels 2.27
Sheets 2.34
Peavy 2.53

There are you have it…my vote has changed to Lincecum, unless you think a factor for whether a team is in a pennant race, or even is any good, should be added in. For now I say no since it’s not an MVP award, just best pitcher award.
Note: Lincecum’s start last night only solidifies his standing in my opinion…
I’m sorry I forgot one of the Cy Young candidates – Zach Duke!
His PPP is 4.05…
I’d say an average pitcher is around 3.00
Also I might need to amend the formula..I forgot a variable for % home games…
I agree that the Cy Young does not have any vague meaning, it should go to the best pitcher, especially since a starting pitcher can only affect a game every 5 days…
I’m such a dick. I was all about the group blog, but I don’t have any ideas for a name.
YET. *ominous music*
Jason…I am thinking something like theyummypancake….
