Bartolo Colon won the American League Cy Young Award this afternoon. Mariano Rivera placed second, Johan Santana came in third. While it may have been nice for Yankee fans to see Rivera win it, I do not think he deserved it, even as a kind of lifetime achievement award. As reader KJC put it, “Mo’s gonna be in the Hall of Fame — that’s his lifetime achievement award, not the ’05 Cy.”

Word.
