Felix went 19-5 last season and came in close second. He's been even better this season. Felix is carrying the entire franchise on his shoulders. He goes out there every fifth day knowing he has to be near perfect to give his teammates a chance to win.  If he's the best pitcher in 2010, he deserves the award given to the best pitcher of 2010.  If he isn't, give it to whomever is.  But don't tell me Felix hasn't pitched under any more stress than any other pitcher, particularly those who have the luxury of plenty of backup from a real supporting cast.  Felix has had to carry this team by himself. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.  Assuming Felix continues to be spectacular through September, then a Cy Young is fitting. If future generations can't merely look at a won loss record to understand why, then let them look a little more closely at the stats.  The reason will be made clear.
