More Tigers math

Oddly enough, every single voter realized that the AL leader in wins, (24, the only AL 20-game winner) innings pitched, (251.0) strikeouts, (250) WHIP (0.92) and ERA, (2.40) who also threw a no-hitter for his playoff-bound team, was the most deserving Cy Young award-winner.  That's such an apt tribute to his phenomenal year that I'll overlook the fact that total punk-ass Jered Weaver placed second.  Congrats to Verlander for an amazing season, one he'll hopefully replicate or even top next year!

  1. Would leading in W, K and ERA be considered the Pitching Triple Crown? Either way it was a phenomenal year.
