Justin Verlander 5th in Cy Young Voting

Despite receiving fewer votes last year, Justin Verlander finished higher in the voting than last year. I'm stunned, but the voters did a good job for a change. Wang didn't get a single vote!

Verlander tied Bedard, Halladay, and Johan Santana with 1 third place vote each. It's a shame voters can only pick 3 candidates. It makes it tough for guys like Verlander, while not deserving of the award, to get more recognition. For the MVP the voters can pick 10 candidates and that allows for far more people to be recognized.

Congratulations Verlander! 7th last year, 5th this year....I'd assume that means 3rd in 2008 and 1st in 2009!

Oh yeah, C.C. Sabathia won.

GO VERLANDER!

I got a $25 amazon gift certificate today from one of my websites that I spam in my signature. Anyways, I bought a Verlander action figure with it. I've still got money left over but this Verlander thing might be cool!

I've got that figure also. He is pitching to Veritek and the Umpire on my shelf. I'm awaiting delivery of my Shef as the batter!!

I'll bet you got yours cheaper than mine ($17). Ty Cobb comes out next year. I'll have to buy that one!

Tayshaun Prince also comes out in February!!

I'll stick with baseball for now. Maybe I'll move on to hockey at some point. A Gordie Howe one would do the trick (or is there one? I checked once).

It's too bad nobody sells them around here. I hate paying $7 shipping

There are already about 10 Red Wings out and Gordie Howe is rumored for next year also.

I want a Kaline!!

The cool thing about the Tayshaun Prince is that now the entire Piatons starting lineup has a figure.

Yeah, there's too many wings. Hardly any Tigers so I can get them!

Why not the starting lineup for the Tigers???

For so many years, nobody was buying Tigers stuff. Now that they have been getting back to "awesomeness", the market hasn't caught up to them quite yet.
I'll bet we aee a Granderson very soon and either Shef or Magglio in the D. (Figures already made so just need a re-paint which is cheap production for the McFarlane company)

Curtis is my choice for the next active Tiger! Are they that cheap that they'd use the same pose for Sheff or Maggs? Talk about lazy! I'd still buy them though!

They do it all the time when someone is traded who already has one out.

Lazy bastards!

Only 5th? Booo!

They have action figures?

News to me!

Yeah! McFarlane makes them:

Yay Justin!!!

Not even 25 years old yet and immortalized in true Tiger fashion!

There's a Magglio too, but he's wearing some dumbass OTHER uniform.....

Hard to believe he was a wsoxer....our gain! their loss!

Amen!! And to think some of their "wiseacre" trolls were telling us we were STUCK with Magglio and his HUGE contract.....

JOKES ON THEM!!!!!

Obviously they had their heads stuck in the sand, because A-Rod was making his astronomical $$ in 2005 also....

Their heads WERE stuck somewhere, but it WASN'T the sand!!

I know.....was just being charitable.....

i wasn't.....

LOL!

Seriously.....
