Tom it's great to hear from you. Glad that you too enjoy bleacherreport haha. The article was well done, I know you're not a Mets fan but I will admit that Jerry Manuel has done a great job turning the Mets around after the firing of Willie. It should be an interesting showdown the next 2 weeks for the NL East.
Webb's got a decent shot at winning the CY-Young, but I really feel Lincecum is going to snag it with all of the success he's had this year. Webb would have easily got it if the D-Backs played as well all year as they did in the beginning. Look forward to reading more of your articles.
