Great breakdown. This is very bittersweet. We get a potential Cy Young year for nothing and may only get to enjoy it for one year. Man I hope we can re-sign him.

But on a completely random note, I have to say something controversial. I remember Buck Martinez very well as a player and have always liked the guy, but like many others I was getting tired of Buck and Pat as the broadcast crew with Buck sounding at times like he's chewing mothballs and Tabler spewing out cliche after cliche in his silky smooth way. But you know what? For some reason I've changed my mind this year. There's comfort in their voices and when I watch the game replays (after knowing the result), it's amazing how much good insight Tabler actually has. Remarkable in fact! Sure they both can lull me to sleep pretty easily, but that's not such a bad thing at times. I just wish Buck would get back to Toronto so he can find the bloody ball.
