Just heard this one on the radio.

What starting pitcher has had the worst run support this year?

obamaismyuncle · 08-21-11, 12:59 AM

Carpenter

iceminers26 · 08-21-11, 01:01 AM

Paul Maholm or Cliff Lee, take your pick, neither was getting any run support until recently the Phills been hitting for Lee but as for Maholm, Bucs still shit on his good outings.

Heard this one on a ball game tonight.

What 3 current managers have won the Manager of the Year Award more than once?

actually you're question is wrong.

Showalter TLR and Sciosca have all won AL manager of the year more than one

Trader Jack and Leyland both have multiple MoY awards but in the NL.
