PrintUnlike at least one person on ESPN's "expert" staff who thought Tim Hudson was better than Roy Halladay (or Wainwright or Jiminez), the baseball writers got it right when they honored Hudson with a fourth place finish in this year's National League Cy Young voting. Here are the results:
| Pitcher | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | Points |
| Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies | 32 | 224 | ||||
| Adam Wainwright, St. Louis Cardinals | 28 | 3 | 1 | 122 | ||
| Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies | 4 | 19 | 8 | 1 | 90 | |
| Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves | 3 | 13 | 4 | 39 | ||
| Josh Johnson, Florida Marlins | 5 | 5 | 9 | 34 | ||
| Roy Oswalt, Houston Astros/Philadelphia Phillies | 1 | 3 | 5 | 14 | ||
| Brian Wilson, San Francisco Giants | 1 | 5 | 7 | |||
| Heath Bell, San Diego Padres | 1 | 1 | 4 | |||
| Mat Latos, San Diego Padres | 1 | 2 | 4 | |||
| Brett Myers, Houston Astros | 1 | 2 | ||||
| Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants | 2 | 2 | ||||
| Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds | 1 | 1 | ||||
| Matt Cain, San Francisco Giants | 1 | 1 |
A good showing by Hudson, who has already won just about every NL Comeback Player of the Year award they gave out this year. He was also honored this year at mid-season when he was selected to the All-Star team.
This is the first time that Hudson has received any Cy Young votes since coming to the Braves before the 2005 season. Hudson previously received Cy Young votes in the American League with the Oakland Athletics in 2000 (finished second), 2001 (finished sixth), and 2003 (finished fourth).
Glad to see that Roy Halladay was the undisputed Cy Young winner. He certainly deserved it this year. The Braves were nice enough to contribute three wins to his league-leading 21.

I'm a Halladay fan.
So congrats to him, he’s a great pitcher and he seems pretty cool.
But Roy Oswalt, really? He had a good season.Cy Young? I’m not too sure about that.

WTF??!?
I can’t believe this travesty.
Halladay didn’t get left off the ballot in favor of Evan Meek?? Puhlease!!
Meek had a goddamn 2.10 ERA, way better than that shit show of a 2.44 ERA Halladay put up. Hitters had a .185 BAA, for Chrissakes!!?!
That Dejan Kovacevic obviously doesn’t know his elbow from his asshole!!

It’s rough to sit through these games and not have someone that can’t hit a Ball?
This one was easy
I imagine all hell is gonna break loose either way with the AL Cy Young vote on Thursday.
What's that about?
Fourth place is third loser.
Morgan: Do you think I could come into the clubhouse after the game and display my ass for both those veterans and the younger guys?
Baker: Well, Joe, you are on the payroll of the team, and you're a legend, so I suppose — holy shit!
[Joe has appeared next to Dusty, in the dugout, completely naked]
Morgan: Hey.
He did have a sneaky good year, so I’m not going to begrudge him 1 4th place vote.

It's his 3rd top 5 finish.
That top 5 looks exactly right, to me.
Brian’s right about what’s coming Thursday. Expect a lot of Chicken Little responses from people who can’t be bothered to look past the basic stats.
