Was a sheer pleasure watching him play this year, and sometimes only went to watch him play...speaking of which... I'm thankful that we open at HOME this year, so we aren't stuck with our 3rd or 4th pitcher on our home opener like (shuddddder) 2008. What a debacle. The roar that will come Greinke's way will be 100 times louder than the 'roar' that greeted Ponson, and Farnsworth; to be honest, Ponson's 'welcome' was for the management's decision to start him in our new K. GRRRR! And forget all of you who think the Royals are overexposed because a few EXCELLENT writers like Joe have hometown ties to KC. GO JOE!! Hope you get to write the Cy Young article in the SI!! :) Overexposed: 1. Yankees 2. BoSox 3. Cowboys (and I'm a Cowboys fan!) 4. ESPN ;) 5. Notre Dame...WHY are they on TV every Saturday?? UGH!!

As for the overexposure I'd have to go with: 1) Royals 2) Nationals 3) Pirates 4) Orioles 5) Padres Just kidding, how about: 1) Yankees 2) Red Sox 3) Mets 4) Cubs 5) Dodgers They have had better ways of evaluating players for years, it’s about time the writers look deeper than the basic stats and give credit where credit is due.

I only hope that now stpat and other assorted idiots who have spent the last five months whining about NY bias in awards voting will finally just shut the F up.
