        I wouldn't call it a complete BS. They were pretty much statistically identical.

        16-8, 3.10
        15-8, 3.09

        Both teams made the playoffs. Webb had a 2.23 ERA in the final month (save the one wretched October start) while Carpenter had a 3.57 ERA... that might've decided it.

              He deserved it. A case could definitely be made for Carpenter, especially if postseason performances were taken into account for these awards. However, how it stands, Webb's the winner, and a very deserving one.

                That what I kinda figured. I think they both had reasons to win it but Giving to Brandon Webb is a good thing, He deserved just as much and has never won one..So why not.

                  I believe the voting is done before the playoffs start, so Carpenter's postseason performances would not be taken into account.

                  Nevertheless, I would be fine with either of them winning is as both of their stats are similar. As was said earlier, Webb had a better final month and that could be a reason why he won it over Carpenter.

                    Meh...There was no clear cut guy in the NL so i'm not going to complain. I'd be just as happy if Carpenter won as well.

                      I think Carlos was the most dominant pitcher in the NL, just has to get his control right. Too many walks, leading to his higher than normal ERA. Is this the worst CY Young race ever?

                        Carp lost the award with his last two starts of the year. If he would have kept that ERA under 3.00 I think he would have won it. If I had a vote, I would have given it to Oswalt.

                          He's easily the most talented, IMO. I'm rooting for Zambrano to put together a string of awesome years. With his stuff, I don't think it's out of the question.
