[Edgy MD]

Magic. That Cuddy card looks like it came right out of that year's set.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

All class, man. Am I right this is Grandy's 1st POTM?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, it's his first. (He was bench player of the month in April.)

[Guest sharpie]

My guess is that Bartolo's one relief inning moved him past deGrom.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You're right. He earned 0.68 points that game, and that was the difference.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, clever move, Fartolo!

I imagine he volunteered for bullpen duty with the Schaefer trophy in his sites.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bartolo did something similar last year, talking Terry into skipping deGrom's last start of the season so that Colon could be Pitcher of the Year.

Jeurys Familia, by the way, has totally left Brian Stokes in the dust.

[Edgy MD]

Brian who?

[G-Fafif]

Magnifique! Granderson looks very good as a player of the month, said some crank who at some point said there was something about him he couldn't quite warm to. I'm far warmer these days, which is an appropriate response to the hottest player from the third-hottest New York August on record.

Skipping Harvey starts played havoc on a 0.33 ERA pitcher, but one has to admire Bartolo's tenacity.

And congratulations, Michael Cuddyer, on finding your niche and earning a Grimm Classic.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yes - superlative as always!

They're always good but the Cuddster card is kinda surreal.

[ashie62]

Conforto is up to 7th.

Good work!
