In other news, Clay Aiken is gay.
Joe Morgan is livid.
And four people need to be banned from press boxes:
Demoted to the minors last year, Lee went a major league-best 22-3 this season with a 2.54 ERA. He received 24 of 28 first-place votes and 132 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America announced Thursday.
Please take the ballots away from writers until they promise, all of them, not to embarrass themselves with this contrarian bullshit every year. Hell, let the drunks in the bleachers vote.
Yesterday, Jay Mariotti wanted to know who left Tim Lincecum off the ballot entirely.
Woody Paige raised his hand, grinning like he was buttering the bread that got him the ESPN gig in the first place. I can’t imagine he has a vote. . . does he?
Whoever it was must have privileges revoked.
Bad refs get demoted all the time. Voters should be treated the same way.
