DHL Dan LXXIV - Danny Downer

While we wait for Shank's stupid tweets about the Patriots / Jaguars football game at 1:00 this afternoon, we're assaulted by another picked-up pieces column where he leads off by (surprise) dumping on the Red Sox yet again, specifically Chris Sale:
Picked-up pieces while working on my next segment of “Dan vs. Time” (Time is winning in a rout) . . .

■ Sorry, Chris Sale is not worthy of the American League Cy Young Award. Sale has been great almost every time he has pitched, but the man has hurled only 147 innings. Sale is 12-4 with a 1.96 ERA. He has pitched six innings since July 27. He wins two-thirds of the Cy Young. The front-runner would be Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell, who is 19-5 with a 2.03 ERA.
Well, that's a) stating the obvious, which b) we've been hearing on local talk radio for a couple of days now. Way to get out in front of a topic of conversation.

The rest of the column's a snoozefest - read at your own peril.

UPDDATE, 1:23 PM - Whoops! It's a 4:25 start...
