2004 AL Cy Young Comparison.

Even though I think it's amusing that Mike Lupica rips the Yankees for being patient ... and predicts the firing of Brian Cashman for the hundredth time ... and inexplicably worships Theo's one big money ring while ridiculing Cashman's four big money rings ... and sticks with his Crazy Steinbrenner angle even though Fonzbrenner keeps acting differently ... I've decided to post the AL Cy Young results instead.

Stupid Lupica. You won't get to me this time. You won't make me point out how stupid it is to compare ARod to Soriano when ARod is clearly better in every way ... always has been and always will be ... maybe Gary Sheffield is not better than David Dellucci if that's your logic ... how stupid it is to claim reclamation project Jaret Wright is a "star" (even though he got beeyotch slapped in the playoffs) while you ignore reclamation projects El Duque and Jon Lieber ... how stupid it is to praise the Dave Roberts acquisition when you claimed that the mid-season Yankee trade for Aaron Boone sucked the joy out of the entire season.

I'm not making it up. In this article from August, 2003, Lupica actually claimed that the acquisition of Aaron Boone "sucks the joy out of the season, whatever Yankee fans say" and incorrectly predicted that "if the Yankees don't win, one of the suck-up guys from the Crack Baseball Committee, Tampa branch, will have the title of general manager before next season."

A year later, he's recycling the same article, and he still doesn't understand anything about baseball or the Yankees or Yankee fans.

Like I promised, I'm not going to talk about Mike Lupica, I'm just going to talk about the AL Cy Young:
