Has a Cy Young winner ever went on to lose 20 games in a season?

July 11, 2010 - 9:00 am 9 Comments

I can’t see how Zito will not lose 20 this year with how bad he’s pitching, I’m trying to think if there’s ever been a Cy Young winner who later on went on to lose 20 games in a season. I will go look it up eventually in baseball-reference, but I wonder, does anyone know this? I don’t think it’s ever happened before.

Denny McLain won the 1968 AL CYA (31-6) and co-won the 1969 AL CYA (24-9), then went 10-22 in 1971.

Steve Carlton won the 1972 NL CYA (27-10), then went 13-20 in 1973, and later won the 1977 (23-10), 1980 (24-9), and 1982 (23-11) NL CYAs.

Randy Jones went 8-22 in 1974, then won the 1976 NL CYA (22-14). Not quite the order you’re looking for.

What are the privileges you get for being a Heisman winner?

July 8, 2010 - 8:27 am 4 Comments

Do you get paid every year or just get to have the trophy?

Has anyone ever noticed that the Heisman winner hasnt won the National Title the year they won the Heisman, is that a jinx or they, "Heisman Fraternity", tell them to lose the game?

Nothing really, you just get cheaper meals at Burger King and free refills.

How do you determine winner in a stalemate.?

July 5, 2010 - 12:21 pm 6 Comments

I had a queen and a rook and a king. My opponent had a king. Am I a winner by points?

you should have avoided the stalemate. you could have easily won with that advantage. but since you did not avoid the stalemate the game is a draw. both of you get .5 points.

When will the winner of the presidential campaign be announced?

July 2, 2010 - 4:02 pm 5 Comments

How long does it take after polls close to determine and announce the winner?

If PA and VA break for Obama, then it will be very likely that the networks will be able to call the electoral vote before bedtime. These states polls close at 7 and 8 pm. However, if McCain picks up even one of these two and the 2nd wave of states doesn’t reveal an overwhelming choice of Obama, then we might be in for a long night.

Remember, once either candidate reaches the magical number of 270 electoral votes then it’s over. So the only reason the margin will be important is to determine exactly how close the race was in any given state, therefore how likely it is able to be predicted.

Why does the winner of a fight get his hand raised?

June 28, 2010 - 8:48 am 2 Comments

When a fighter wins he/she usually raises their hand in victory and often when a professional fight comes to a decision the referee will raise the hand of the winner in the air. Where does this tradition come from? How did this start?

Just a guess here but I would say that it goes back to the days before pa systems and so the people in the back of the arena would know who won.
