There's no way they come back now. In a related story, I'm now shopping at Macy's on a regular basis.

J.A. Happ Named Sporting News NL Rookie of the Year
I can now say I caught the National League Rookie of the Year... How cool is that???
Phillies lefthander J.A. Happ and White Sox third baseman Gordon Beckham are Sporting News' 2009 rookies of the year, as selected by a panel of 338 major league players.
Phillies pitcher J.A. HappHapp, who moved from Philadelphia's bullpen to its rotation in late May, went 12-4 with a 2.93 ERA in 35 games (23 starts). He struck out 119 batters in 166 innings pitched and had two shutouts. Happ pitched in relief in Game 2 of the NLDS against Colorado and started Game 3. He has pitched twice in relief in the NLCS.
"J.A. wasn't the typical pitching prospect because he didn't necessarily put the numbers up on the radar gun," Orioles scout Bob Szymkowski, who signed Happ with the Phillies in 2004, told Sporting News. "Most times, he threw 86 to 88. But Jay had very good mound composure and competed very well. His best qualities were a very deceptive delivery in terms of his arm slot and the ability to mix all of his pitches and locate them on the perimeter of the strike zone. While he didn't have a power approach, he still had a great feel for pitching."
Go U, NU and Congrats J !!!!!
Tim Lincecum is so money
It's apparent that Tim Lincecum is the best pitcher in baseball today. A complete game 4-hitter with 0 ERs lowers his ERA to 2.30, just 0.16 behind Dan Haren, the NL leader. He also racked up 15 K's to extend his major league lead of 183. He's tied for 3rd with 11 wins, just 1 behind Matt Cain and Jason Marquis. Aside from the stats though, he's just dominating and confusing hitters. Granted, it's just the Pirates but any time you can rack up 15 K's against any major league team is an impressive feat. Let's hope he can duplicate today's magic against the Phillies on Saturday.
Best 1-2-3 punch in National League?
I'm watching the Giants play the Diamondbacks - 3-1 Giants, Top of the 3rd. Last night Matt Cain won his NL lead tying 8th game to go 8-1. Last year's NL Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum is at 5-1 and newly minted 300 game winner Randy Johnson is at 5-5. That's 3 out of the top 20 starting pitchers (Jonathan Broxton and Tony Pena are closers). I don't expect much out of The Big Unit but I think Lincecum could easily have 2 or 3 more wins and Matt Cain looks amazing. Now if only we had a decent bat in the lineup...
