The streak is over. The American League completely ignored the 7-9 record and 1.62 WHIP of Cleveland's Aaron Laffey and named Kansas City's Zack Greinke as their 2009 Cy Young Award winner. With Greinke's accomplishment comes the realization that the Indians have no choice but to keep all of their pitchers next season and that my Tribe bobblehead collection is about to get fifteen more Grady Sizemores in occupational clothing.Tonight's Dugout is after the jump.

|
GreinkeDinks: You're out of your mind. |

Seems like Farnsworth got lost in his own argument, which is something I would expect him to do. Was he saying Grieke didn't deserve the award or just that the Royals are terrible?
I just realized the last AL Cy Young Award winner not from the AL Central was Bartolo Colon. Ugh.
I'm so glad we have postseason Farnsworth...almost as glad as I was when I heard Greinke won the Cy Young!
