Clayton Kershaw won the NL Cy Young Award today, edging Roy Halladay. I think it’s pretty obvious that Halladay had a better season. Let’s not forget that Kershaw pitched against the Triple AAA Giants six times, going 5-0 against us, with a line that reads out of a high school newspaper: 42 IP 29 Hits 5 ER 49 SO 0.93 ERA. I think it’s safe to say that pitching against the Giants pretty much won him the award.
