    ​Felix Hernandez might as well have told the rest of the Mariners to stay at home when he pitched. With the lowest amount of run support in the big leagues and the fewest number of wins (13) of any top pitching-award contender, he didn't have the normal bona fides of a classic Cy Young winner. ...

    Seattle Storm Is the Winningest Team In City History, Says WNBA; Suck On That, Seahawks

    ​It's a crime, really, that there were any empty seats at all in Key Arena tonight as the Seattle Storm dominated the Phoenix Mercury 82 - 74 in the first game of the WNBA Western Conference Finals. No chance Pete Carroll will give you anywhere near that great a season this year.

Another, it seems, is stupid Cy Young votes based on won-lost record, one of the statistics over which a pitcher has the least control, as it's so dependent on the play of his defense and especially his offense.
