We've been having our fun with statistical looks at the candidates for MLB awards around these parts . But in the greater sportswriting world, some of the choices writers -- and coaches -- make are apparently meant for ridicule, not rational discussion. Take, for example, the decisions of Will Carroll and Keith Law to leave Chris Carpenter off their Cy Young ballots . It solicited a nasty tweet from...
Time is sometimes spent in this space criticizing the work of those in the mainstream media, be it Kevin Kernan , John Harper or Marty Noble . Maybe not as much time is spent praising the strong work. Ken Davidoff is a national baseball writer at Newsday and is one of the few in the mainstream who embraces sabermetrics. For him, and most others who are saber-inclined, it's less about breaking the game...
Keith Law was one of only two writers in the land who left Chris Carpenter off his Cy Young ballot. Law voted Tim Lincecum in first, Javy Vazquez in second, and Adam Wainwright in third. Baseball Prospectus’s Will Carroll is the other web stat nerd recently given an MVP vote, and he voted for Wainwright, [...]
Tim Lincecum won his second NL Cy Young, edging Chris Carpenter by 4 points. This upset several sportswriters such as Bill Conlin (Phillies) and Bryan Burwell (Cardinals) who complained that Lincecum won only 15 games and that we have fallen into the Valley of VORP or some such un-understandable gibberish in which winning is no [...]

If you’ve not seen them, my selections for the Cardinal Bloggers Awards are below. The votes are coming in from across the blogosphere and we should have some results maybe this weekend. I briefly touched on it yesterday , but I want to talk a little more about the aftermath of the Cy Young voting . Apologies if there is some more than usual rambling, but there are some half-formed thoughts...
Every now and then, we as writers come across something that nothing quite prepares us for. Take this nausea-inducing kiddie baseball video The fine folks at Deadspin where I found this video suggest checking your water supply for drugs after watching. I would also add that perhaps burning your hard drive to completely cleanse it from this monstrosity wouldn't be a bad idea as well. Speaking of drugs...
This is the third consecutive year for the Blogger awards. and I'm back in the saddle after not submitting a ballot in 2008. It's a fun look back at the past year. The final results of the voting will be put up at Dan's site at some point; I wouldn't expect it to happen tomorrow, but most likely by Thanksgiving. So, on to the voting: 1. Cardinal Player of the Year - Albert Pujols . Could there be any...

File this bit of trivia away for your next bar bet: Who was the only player other than the Cardinals’ <strong>Adam Wainwright</strong> to finish with the most first-place votes in the voting for the Cy Young Award and not win? That was where Wainwright found himself on Thursday as <strong>Tim Lincecum</strong> of the San Francisco Giants won his second consecutive...
