    That's nowhere near the worst take. :)

    Totally valid comparison. Neither plays for the Rockets. :)

    Ok. I feel bad about the fire bombing I ordered on the USA Today HQ now.

    It wasn't that stupid 3 months ago when the article was published.

    You and YOLO go to your room(s?) and think about what you've done.

    You're right. I was probably thinking of something else you've said. ;)

    Yordan not being in the top 5 for ROTY should have been the first clue.

    Technically, think a good lawyer could make the case the date on the article was in fact Today.

    Are all votes in on CY vote? Or do voters get a chance to see Cole and Verlander in postseason before final vote? I am thinking all votes are in but I am not sure. If there was ever a time and a situation for co-CY award winners this would be it. Both have had phenomenal seasons. Verlander had the no-hitter so that may very well give him the edge if all votes are in. Cole was unhittable in the ALDS so if I was a voter and I had not voted yet I would be tempted to change my vote to Cole.

    Yeah, I would totally change my vote to Cole right now based on pure emotion. It really isn't fair to Verlander because he got rocked on short rest.

    I feel bad for Verlander at his age having to pitch on short rest. You have to give him credit though after that rough first inning he was impressive in giving us a chance to rally. Unfortunately game 4 was one of those games we spent much of the time with our bats on our shoulders. Seemed like the only pitches we were swinging at were down in the dirt.

    Likely his last best chance to win it. Was really hoping he'd take it home, Cole will get his. Verlander too good to end his career with just 1. Very happy he got this.
