*Dallas Keuchel became the first Astro to win the Cy Young award since Roger Clemens back in 2004 when he received 22 of 30 1st place votes - David Price received the other eight - from the BBWAA. Keuchel, Clemens, and Mike Scott are the only Astros pitchers to win the Cy Young.
*Clemens welcomed Keuchel to the Cy Young club
*Keuchel told his mother that he was going to win...a week before the season started.
*Collin McHugh received five votes and finished 8th.
*Here's a big something from Jeff Passan:
Three sources told Yahoo Sports that Freeman's name came up in conversations with the Houston Astros as part of a mega-trade that would've included more than five players. It went nowhere.
...Man, it would be fun to know what those conversations were like.
*Holy crap, read about the Marlins clubhouse.
*With HOF voting time ongoing, we get to read extremely bad opinions.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
