Win stat overrated again

Bartolo Colon won the AL Cy Young award again today, proving very nicely that the people who vote for these kinds of awards don't have a clue what they're talking about.  As Jayson Stark points out, Johan Santana deserved the award much more than Colon did.

Wins mean everything for a team, and next-to-nothing for a pitcher.  Remember that when Roger Clemens doesn't win the NL Cy Young (that he very much deserves) tomorrow.
