Another no hitter yesterday, pretty cool for 6 pitchers to do it.

He is indeed. His only weakness right now is that you can run on him, he doesn't have that great an arm for an outfielder. But that's a minor quibble. If he keeps this pace up not only is he winning ROY, but he's in serious discussion for the MVP (assuming Hamilton cools off of course).

Picks for MVP, ROY and Cy Young for each league?

AL: Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout, David Price

NL: Joey Votto, Bryce Harper, Lance Lynn (if he goes the whole season) otherwise Cole Hamels.

AL: MVP- Really open, Kornerko would be a good call though.
ROY-Trout
CY- Price

NL MVP- Wright
ROY-Harper
CY- Too many candidates to narrow it down right now.

****ing Mike Trout. He continues to be super awesome. 40 games, 35 runs, 26 RBI, 15 SB, .354 average, .977 OPS. It seems like he’s a key part of every single Angels win. I so want to hate him but can’t. He’s just so good to watch. The Angels are now just 2.5 games behind Texas and are starting to give me a headache.

NL
MVP: Wide open now Kemp is out for an extended run. I still think he can win it, so he gets my vote. Matt Kemp
ROY: Duh. Bryce Harper
CY: RA Dickey

AL
MVP: Miggy
ROY: Duh. Mike Trout
CY: David Price. I hope I'm right about this one, my favourite pitcher in the game.

lol no hitters and perfect games are losing their luster, seems like every team has one going into the 8th inning on a weekly basis.

Odds for the next no-hitter? My rankings would be;

Verlander
Petitte
Price

Strasburg or Verlander next I reckon.

Or Carpenter in Game 5 of the NLDS for the Cards

Tigers finally getting a decent run together since Jackson came back. Been a pretty ****ty season so far given the strength of the lineup.

i think it's unlikely they'd let strasburg go the 9 innings this season with the inning limit on him. could happen next season though

hamilton is still a lock for al mvp if the season ended today. great average, 2nd in hrs and 1st in rbis. the voters love rbis
