How can people still believe that Verlander is a better rookie than Francisco "Mr. 1.83 ERA" Liriano? Now he has 10 wins, tied for fourth in the AL, and he is I think sixth place in the AL for strikeouts. All six above him have pitched at least 20 more innings than him. Verlander is a joke compared to Liriano, and Papelbon winning the Cy Young would be a complete joke. ESPN might have you think it'd be a good idea to give a rookie closer from Boston the award, but there are obviously better pitchers who have been just as important to their winning teams as he has. FUCK.
