I think they forgot a bullet

After covering the breaking news of CC Sabathia signing with the NY Yankees. An awesome ESPN online poll showed on the screen, not the results, but to show the options. On the top of the poll, it said: The Pulse of the Fan. The question: How many games will CC Sabathia win with the Yankees next season?

- 20 or more
- 17 to 19
- 14 to 16
- 10 to 13
- fewer than 10

I don't know where to start with how annoying this all is. First thing I want to say is; wins don't fucking matter!!!! There should be another choice in the poll which states:

- Depends on run support.

Which reminds me of a radio interview on Ed Randall's Talking Baseball with Barry Zito. It was a couple years ago, when Zito was still on the A's. Like 2 seasons after he won the AL Cy Young Award. This is one of Ed's questions, pretty much word for word: "What's been different in the last 2 seasons compared to your Cy Young Award winning season?" Zito is a terrible interviewee, btw. But his answer sums up the question for all the people that think wins are the best metric to judge pitching. Answer: "Run support (laughter)."

And that's not all folks, its run support, its bullpen, there are so many factors that can lower a pitchers wins. This year, the Met's bullpen blew like 327 leads for Johan Santana. I think it was like 9, but I'm at work right now. Think about that?! 9 fucking games!!!! The BBWAA would been sucking Johan's dick into the Cy Young award this year if he had 9 more wins. Nine NDs doesn't affect any other metrics besides Wins. His other numbers aren't affected at all, but its all these fucking ESPN and BBWAA idiots care about.

I'm at work and now I'm furious. More to come...

Cheers
