Someone Explain This To Me

Why is it that in the race for AL Cy Young, all you ever hear about is either CC Sabathia or Josh Beckett? Has anyone looked at John Lackey's numbers? He won the ERA title (overrated, I'll admit), he's got the highest ERA+ and has pitched over 200 innings and although his strikeout numbers aren't quite as impressive as Sabathia or Josh Beckett, they're really freaking comparable.

While I think Sabathia should win, (he pitched 40+ more innings than did Beckett and still had a better ERA and ERA+ and had virtually the same WHIP with only one fewer Win, if you're someone that likes that sort of thing), it's really surprising that someone who should be right in the mix is getting almost no pub.

Is it because he plays on the west coast? Or is it because he looks like a complete gomer? God only knows on this one.

Also, Pat's insane for saying that Braun shouldn't win the ROY.
