ESPN wrote an article 10 days ago. I just stumbled upon it tonight, or this morning, whatever time it is. The article goes over first-half MVP cantidates, Cy Young cantidates, among others.

The Least Valuable Player Award was also a topic.

The winner: Richie Sexson.
Others receiving consideration: Jose Vidro, Kenji Johjima

The 2008 Mariners are a laughing stock. Three of the five (60%) of the players receiving votes were Mariners. This was hard for me to swallow, and yet I totally agree.

The Cy Yuk was also a topic. That goes to the pitcher who put on the worst show in the first half.

The winner: Carlos Silva
Others receiving consideration: Miguel Batista

25% of the players receiving votes, which is really 40% of the Mariners Opening Day rotation. More bad news.
