Off Day Trivia

[Gwreck]

Saw this on social media so if you did too, you’re disqualified.

What 5 MLB franchises have won the most Cy Young Awards?

[Edgy MD]

One at a time or you want me to slam five cards down at once?

[Gwreck]

You wanna show off, show off. Usual CPF procedure is one at a time, no?

[whippoorwill]

I’m betting Rangers

[Benjamin Grimm]

Dodgers

[Edgy MD]

Braves.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mets.

[Gwreck]

Dodgers: correct, with 12.
Newcombe, Drysdale, Koufax (3), Marshall, Valenzuela, Hershiser, Gagne, Kershaw (3)

Braves: correct, with 7
Spahn, Glavine (2), Maddux (3), Smoltz

Rangers: incorrect. No Cy Young award winners for that franchise.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mets.

The Mets also won seven: Seaver (3), deGrom (2), Gooden and Dickey.

I'll also take the Phillies: Carlton (4), Bedrosian, Denny and Halladay.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I could run the table because I memorized every Cy Young winner.

[Edgy MD]

Phils, almost on Carlton alone.

[Chad ochoseis]

Red Sox. I think Lonborg won in 1967, plus a few from Clemens and Pedro, plus Rick Porcello.

[Gwreck]

Phils, almost on Carlton alone.

Correct. Carlton’s 4 are the most by a single player with a single franchise (tied with Randy Johnson). Other Phillies were John Denny, Steve Bedrosian, and Roy Halladay.

[Gwreck]

Red Sox. I think Lonborg won in 1967, plus a few from Clemens and Pedro, plus Rick Porcello.

Correct, exactly. 3 of Clemens’ and 2 of Pedro’s were won in Boston.

I don't see any vicious insult in the 2025 schedule thread. The only offensive thing I see in there is from the guy who posted, "Who gives a flying fuck?"

It was the troll post. Also, I went through the entire FAQ and the only way I can see to block someone is through the friend/foe function.And that function always tells you when a foe has posted and gives you the option for every one of your foes' posts, to view the hidden post with one click. If there's another way to block someone, I didn't see it listed in the FAQ.

[Gwreck]

What about Oakland ?

Nope. You need 7 to be one the top five franchises and Oakland only had 5. Blue, Hunter, Welch, Eckersley, and Zito won once each.

Later

[Benjamin Grimm]

How about the Cardinals?

[stevejrogers]

The MFers?

Also you didn’t check the Mets off

Speaking of MFers, the most recent “hated by all of baseball, except their own fanbase” franchise, Astros might have enough by now?

This quiz is over. The five teams were already guessed: Dodgers, Red Soz, Braves, Mets and Phillies. Nothing more to see here folks. I have no idea why he's still taking guesses when the quiz was solved yesterday. He said he was looking for the top five teams and the top five teams were guessed.

batmags 2 (NYM, Phil)
Grimm 1 (Dodgers)
Edgy 1 (Braves)
Chad 1 (Red Sox)

Tell me what I won, Johnny.

[batmagadanleadoff]

How about the Cardinals?

I'm pretty certain that if he's looking for the top five teams, they were posted yesterday. All five.

batmags 2 (NYM, Phil)
Grimm 1 (Dodgers)
Edgy 1 (Braves)
Chad 1 (Red Sox)

Looks like I won.

[Gwreck]

How about the Cardinals?

Only 3: two for Bob Gibson, and one for Chris Carpenter.

[Gwreck]

The MFers?

The Yankees have 6: Turley, Ford, Guidry, Lyle, Clemens, and Cole.

Also you didn’t check the Mets off

The Mets are the last correct answer, with 7: Seaver (3), Gooden, Dickey, and deGrom (2).

[batmagadanleadoff]

How about the Cardinals?

Only 3: two for Bob Gibson, and one for Chris Carpenter.

Also, it can't be the Cardinals because you wrote that there are five answers and five correct answers were already submitted. Unless you made a mistake and suddenly realized that it turns out that there are more than five correct answers. If that's the case, you should fess up and tell us that there are more than five answers.

I think that what Rogers is saying is that you didn't give proper credit for the Mets answer when it was correctly submitted yesterday. Rogers himself wasn't submitting an answer.
