Interesting tidbit brought to my attention by JSOnline.com
"Dynamic duo: Until CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets blanked the Nationals on Friday and Saturday, no major-league team had back-to-back, complete-game shutouts since July 2004, when Minnesota’s Brad Radke, Johan Santana and Kyle Lohse pitched three in a row.
Sheets and Sabathia are the co-leaders in the National League with four complete games each, and are tied with Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels and Los Angeles’ Hiroki Kuroda with two shutouts apiece. The major difference is that Sheets has made 23 starts and Sabathia only seven since coming from Cleveland in a trade."
Could CC actually beat out Brandon Webb for the NL Cy Young? I feel he has a great shot. Despite the idea of Webb obtaining 22+ wins this season, Sabathia has shown he should be in the limelight with Webb for this prestigious awards.
Who was the last player to earn the award, in back-to-back years?
Who was the last player to earn the award, in both leagues?

Ryan Braun's injury looks to be pretty serious. I'm thinking 15 day DL, sadly enough. Anytime you have spasms in your back that restrain breathing...you know it's a mess. I am thinking Braun will go on the list, simply because it's during the easiest part of the schedule. By doing so, we'll get a fresh Braun back in time for the Cardinals series...but they have to act today.
Who would be summoned then?
