Responses:

There's nothing misleading about the fact that Kimbrel's ERA is a full run better in only 50 fewer innings. - David Oct 18, 10:51 8
- you mistake me saying he is a better player than Uehara, I am not. - groiny Oct 18, 10:54 7
  - I am absolutely with you on that. I am just amused that the same people saying Kimbrel hasn't deserved the Cy Young the last two years are now... - David Oct 18, 10:56 6
    - well, I certainly ain't giving either of them the Cy Young anytime soon. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 10:57 5
      - Which is ridiculous because Kimbrel has just had the greatest two year stretch in the history of baseball. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:00 4
        
        the last 2 seasons...... - groiny Oct 18, 11:08
        
        well, you do not give a 2 year award, otherwise, he might get it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 11:01 2
        
        He was the best pitcher in the NL last year and this year. He didn't win then and he won't win now. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:08 1
        
        how many Cy Youngs did Mariano Rivera win? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 11:10
