Beckett looked extremely uncomfortable in that first inning against the Twins at Fenway.  He seemed to either A) Not Care or B) trying to hard to win 21 games and secure the cy young award.  I personally thought before the game that he was a lock for the Cy Young award but now I am not to sure.  C.C Sabathia has had an outstanding season but he still has not put up the type of numbers like Beckett.  C.C however has beat Verlander and I believe Santana on number occasions, while beckett has beat who? Wang?  I mean he really hasn’t pitched against anyone that good or on the same level as Santana and Verlander.  Don’t get me wrong Beckett is the man no question about it and as a biased Red Sox fan I would say he should deserve it.  We as baseball fans need to take a step back and look at the pitchers within the AL East and realize that we don’t have pitches the caliber of Santana and Verlander that Beckett has beaten.  Just my 2 cents on the whole issue and I think the voting will be extremely close with Beckett pulling it off for the Cy Young.
