I don't normally stray into non-fishing discussions but I will make an exception.

Personally, I don't think the Mariners care about individual awards. The Cy Young is nice but they're after something bigger. So if Freddie doesn't get the Cy Young, he won't mind, as long as they win it all.

As for The Rocket, take a good long look at those numbers. And then look again. And then look at his age. It might be a very long time before we see another 39 year old power pitcher with those kind of stats. It is quite remarkable. Best of luck to both in the playoffs. It should be some great baseball. Perhaps it will be good enough to take our minds off other, more tragic events in NYC. Maybe just for a little while.
