It was just announced that two former Detroit Tiger pitchers; Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals and Rick Porcello of the Boston Red Sox were awarded their respective leagues Cy Young Awards. If you don't know what that means I'm not really sure why you're reading my blog, but no judgement here, I'm more than happy to have you. The Cy Young Award is given to who the Baseball Writers Association of America believes was the most outstanding pitcher in their league for the season.
Porcello beat out current Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander by the slimmest of margins. Just 5 points on the ballot. Basically the writers vote for who they think should finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc and there is a point total awarded for each vote, with the higher the vote the higher the weight it carries. What is really strange is that Verlander had the most first place votes and Porcello had the most second places votes. So you'd think they'd finish 1-2 right? Nope! Two writers left Verlander off their ballot completely which gave the edge to my man Pretty Ricky.
Should've figured two idiot Rays writers would mess it up. The news broke while I was at the gym and honestly I was shocked. I raced home because I was going to write about how shocked I was that Rick Porcello won.
However things change, and boy do they change quickly. While I did not expect Pretty Ricky Porcello to snag the award, I'm happy he did, even though I think Verlander deserved it more. Can't say that everybody else is as happy about it as I and most of Red Sox nation am for Pretty Ricky. Nope, Verlander's fiancé; everybody's favorite 2011 sensation Kate Upton took to twitter in a fit of rage to defend her man. 
Looks like Katie took a page out of the ole Cartman playbook with that one..Also congrats on the sex, Kate.
The shock factor alone from seeing Kate Upton tweet this made it hilarious, best thing I've seen on twitter this week hands out. But tbh she's kind of right.... Who the hell in their right mind would keep Justin Verlander off their ballot entirely? You can make your argument for Porcello all you want but to not give Verlander a spot on your ballot at all is insane. He went 16-9 with a 3.02 ERA (2nd in the AL) and lead the AL in strikeouts with 254. Not only that but Verlander had better numbers than Porcello in nearly every pitching stat imaginable.
But Kate Upton wasn't done there, oh not at all.
Now where she loses me is when she says Rick didn't get any first place votes because that's not true. He had 8. But I'll give Kate a pass on that one, she is just pissed off defending her man. Also she dropped a #ByeFelicia which negates any incorrect stats. Those are just the rules of the internet.
And if we're being honest I actually love this move. She's Kate Upton she can say whatever she wants, and she's going all out for her man which is a move a respect the hell out of, not to mention it's hot as hell, What guy doesn't want a smokeshow wife who also will defend the shit out of you? Talk about the American Dream. I usually don't believe celebrity couples actually love each other but that's not the case here. Kate is a down ass chick for her man and if you can't appreciate that then what can you appreciate?
P.S. Look at the bright side guys. This isn't the most embarrassing moment you've had on the internet.
These were the highlights of 2014's "The Fappening" which released a ton of celebrities. Nobody even cared about the fact Kate Upton as naked it was all about how ridiculous this bare ass selfie and Verlander's face were. And this is still possibly the funniest picture of all time. A future HOF pitcher just taking a shirtless selfie in a hotel in dad jeans. NBD.
Double P.S. I can really sympathize with Kate Upton here, because I too know how devastating it can be when your man loses out on an award despite having the most first place votes.
