Does DODGERS Ace CLAYTON KERSHAW have a Pad Lock on the 2013 NL CY YOUNG ...slow your roll as he has Elite Company..."Give Me the RIGHTY or LEFTY" whose the other four that can stake claim to the Hardware on the BUMP?....#2K13NLCyYoungAwardRace

The Dodgers Ace LHP Clayton Kershaw has all the numbers to stake claim to his 2nd NL Cy Young Award and now the 2013 Win Total is reaching the top of the Senior Circuit. Don't put Mr. Kershaw in the Winners Circle yet as the race has is just now turning the corner for the Finish albeit it might not be a Photo Finish. There are a few names that have had and are having Cy Young-Like Years and Kershaw needs to sat consistent and tack on a few more in the Left Column.

The 2013 NL Cy Young Race in Order...and as we go to press the race resides in KershawVille City Limits

1. Clayton Kershaw #BoysInBlue (13-7) 1.72 ERA 188 SO 198.1 IP Opp Avg .182

Kershaw has amped it up in the last two months and has been virtually untouchable. He is among the Tops in K's, Opponents Hitting Average against him, Innings pitched, and that ERA is #1 in the Show. It is his Cy Young Award to lose and the way things are in KershawVille USA get the Presser ready.

2. Adam Wainright (pictured left) #Redbirds (15-7) 2.58 ERA 182 SO 198.2 IP Opp Avg .244

You could argue in some areas but looking at it closely minus the ERA and Opponents Average against him Wainright is a real close 2nd place. His 15 W's tops the Senior Circuit and he eats innings and like the Dodgers the Cards are mowing down the opposition as Wainright is the Ace of a really solid staff. Could he make a run late to grab some meaningful votes to persuade the argument?

3. Patrick Corbin #DBacks (13-4) 2.79 ERA 154 SO 177.2 IP Opp Avg .216

He was stuck on nine W's for the longest but has bounced back of late and put up three straight and all of a sudden Corbin is back in the conversation. An ERA under three as he eats up innings and opponents average against him is just over the Mendoza Line. I think it's a two-man Race now and Corbin is the start of tier #2.

4. Zack Greinke #BoysInBlue (13-3) 2.86 ERA 112 SO 141.2 IP Opp Avg .242

I know what your thinking the Bluedude is all over that Dodgers Train well those of you asking that need to get hold of the Hitters that face Greinke and they would tell you he is just as Nasty. He hasn't pitched enough Innings but those 13 wins and the Momentum to be north of 17-18 wins is possible. That ERA and Innings will go up as the Strike Outs will and no one on the Senior Circuit wants to face Dodger Blue in the "Fight for October" and if you said yes...your fooling yourself!

5. Matt Harvey #Amazins (9-5) 2.27 ERA 191 SO 178.1 IP Opp Avg .209

I would have had Harvey at #2 but it's the Wins as the Mets lack of Run Support when he is on the Bump has cost this Stud at least 5 W's. Now he is out until maybe 2015 if h gets Tommy John Surgery you cannot take away what he did in 2013 as he is True #1 and for him to grab the Hardball when he felt that Pain a month ago shows the "Dawg" in him. If there is no "Dawg" in you you won't be on this list or the Bluedude's List. Big Fella the Bluedude will see you soon and then you will be better than ever like a Cyborg throwing high 90s with the Express.....Mets Nation Stand Up for Mr. Harvey and you still have Zack Wheeler another Ace in the Hole!
