It's Been A Good Month

Ladies and gentlemen: your Pitchers of the Month.

National League


New York Mets righty John Maine, who had the lowest ERA (1.35) in the majors in April, was awarded the NL Pitcher of the Month honor.

The 25-year-old Maine posted a 4-0 record, allowing just five earned runs in 33.1 innings, never surrendering more than two runs in any start. He held opponents to a .159 batting average and recorded 30 strikeouts for the Mets, who have won each of his starts.
American League


Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Roy Halladay was named the AL Pitcher of the Month for April.

In six starts, the 30-year-old Halladay posted a 4-0 record and a 2.28 ERA in 47.1 innings. He tossed two complete games, including a 10-inning performance April 13th in a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

The four-time All-Star and 2003 Cy Young Award Winner has not allowed more than three runs in any start this season.

Both pitchers will receive a super special trophy to commemorate their Pitcher of the Month performances.

He's a whale of a catch, as they say.

Halladay looks like a total goober there.

Nothing for my boy Cole? No love for his magnificent 15 K game? No recognition for losing his shit in Atlanta and getting it back together to cripple Andruw and Chipper? Piffle.

Oh, and, hello ladies! You girls are always commenting over at Ladies..., I figure I should return the favor.

Oh Clare, my dear. I've got love for Cole! In fact, I find myself wanting to do a Phillies preview everytime he pitches... must... resist!

Don't forget the constant hand-licking, Deborah.

Ponson's a hottie, no doubt - a hottie that will be DFA'd after Sunday, let us hope.
