Cliff Lee Wins AL Cy Young Award

Saturday, November 15th, 2008 | MLB, Sports | No Comments

Cleveland Indians starter Cliff Lee won the American League Cy Young Award. Lee took 24 of 28 first-place votes to finish ahead of Toronto Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay. Halladay garnered the other 4 first-place votes, while Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez finished 3rd in voting.

Lee, coming off a dismal 2007, finished the 2008 MLB season with a 22-3 record and a sparkling 2.54 ERA – both tops in the Major Leagues. Lee also finished second in innings pitched and complete games behind Halladay. Lee started the 2008 All-Star Game for the AL at Yankee Stadium. Lee received a $250,000 bonus from the Indians for winning the award.

Halladay finished the season with a 20-11 record and a 2.78 ERA. He led the AL with 244 innings pitched, 9 complete games and 206 strikeouts. Halladay received a $200,000 bonus for finishing 2nd in the CY Young Award voting.

Bulls Top Mavericks 98-91 at United Center

Saturday, November 15th, 2008 | NBA, Sports | No Comments

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Dallas Mavericks 98-91 on Thursday night. Another slow start under Head Coach Vinny Del Negro saw the Bulls behind by 10 after the 1st quarter. But an 11-point 2nd quarter edge gave the Bulls a 1 point lead at halftime, and the Bulls kept the momentum in the 3rd period to increase the lead to 8 at the start of the 4th quarter. Ben Gordon shined for the Bulls with 35 points 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Derrick Rose added 16 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, while Luol Deng scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Gordon, Rose and Deng have been the 3 most consistent players for the Bulls all season long. Tyrus Thomas and Drew Gooden each scored 8 points and grabbed 8 rebounds to finish off the balanced-attack. In his first appearance of the season, Larry Hughes scored 5 points in 13 minutes for the Bulls.

In defeat, Josh Howard starred for the Mavericks with 21 points and 11 boards. Erik Dampier also had a productive night with 16 points and 18 rebounds.

The Bulls are now 4-5 and have a chance to get back to .500 before they hit the road for their annual “circus” road trip. The Bulls face intra-division rival Indiana Pacers on Saturday night at the United Center.
