I had an AL Cy Young vote and went in this order: 1. Schlittler 2. Cease 3. Messick 4. Rasmussen 5. Gray The toughest decision was between Messick and Rasmussen for third. I went back and forth on it quite a bit before finally going with Messick.

All you trolls can no longer say, "Nerd, stick to baseball" when I tweet something about other sports. I'm still a nerd but I'll be shifting from full-time Red Sox (after more than a decade) to a little bit of everything (and projects) in pro sports. Still a lot of Red Sox but I'll be handling other teams in the way I do the Sox with some interesting (sometimes weird) stories. And of course, still Red Sox prospects.
