With two weeks left in the season, Kershaw leads the league in ERA (2.34) and strikeouts (236) while being tied for the league lead with 19 wins. Halladay may have pitched in bigger games, but he does not have better numbers, and the vote should not be close.
On a night he lost a fastball, Clayton Kershaw won an award, captured a clubhouse and asked a very pointed question of an Arizona hayseed.
Moral of the story: Don't mess with Texas.

Just checked the Wikipedia article on Clayton Kershaw. It says that he was born in Dallas, TX, and that he is a great-nephew of the late Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto.
