Chris Carpenter wins 2005 NL Cy Young!

I’m proud to announce today that Chris Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals has been awarded the 2005 NL Cy Young Award for best pitcher!



For some odd reason, he wasn’t ESPN’s pick…


The Astros’ Roger Clemens had a lower ERA but fewer wins than Carpenter, and like the article said above, Dontrelle Willis of the Marlins. Although this didn’t turn out to be the storybook year that Cardinals fans had hoped for (Busch Stadium being demolished without a World Series appearance or title in its final season), it’s a wonderful recognition for an otherwise memorable season.

And many experts are picking Carpenter’s great teammate Albert Pujols to win the National League’s MVP award! Again, Congratulations to Chris Carpenter!
