Clay Buchholz Just Became The Front Runner In This Year's Cy Young Race

What are you talking about? You’re an idiot! Shut up, troll! I’m sure that’s what everyone’s thinking right now. “Feits, how could Buchholz possibly be in the Cy Young race lead? He stunk last year. A car wash place said their bubbles are even softer than him.” All true, valid points. But what was Clay’s biggest problem last year? Confidence. He was crying in the dugout. He never wanted the ball. He was scared. Guess what? He’s a cowboy hat guy now. It’s impossible to wear a cowboy hat and not be a confident son of a bitch. Cowboy hats are magic, they’re like steroids on steroids. You put one on and you feel like… well, a cowboy. That’s a winner. Strolling out of the clubhouse in a cowboy hat with a Bud Light and spitter in hand screams “I’m Clay Buchholz and I’m here to fuck shit up.” So I’m predicting we see early 2013 Buchholz. 5 unhittable pitches and lights out every time he steps on the mound. Book it.

And I predicted Grady Sizemore’s 40/40 last year, so you know I know what I’m talking about.
