Nuggets Release Mcdyess

The Denver Nuggets have released forward Antonio Mcdyess one week after he was acquired along with Chauncey Billups in the blockbuster trade for Allen Iverson. Mcdyess is expected to re sign with the Pistons, even though it is rumored that over half of the teams in the league will be after him. The reason for this move was primarily so the Nuggets could save money, and Mcdyess reportedly wasn't particularly happy with the trade to the nuggets, particularly because he is still holding a grudge for how the team treated him when he left the Nuggets as a free agent in 2001. The only reason he was included in the trade was because the amount of salary going to each team had to match.

My Voting Experience

My voting experience was made very easy because i received a mail in ballot. I heard from most people that there were long lines everywhere, and im extremely happy i didn't have to deal with any of those myself. I never knew there was so much to vote on before i looked at my ballot, like all of the new amendments and such. Well im pretty glad that all of that is finally over. Not particularly happy about the outcome, but at least its over.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Cliff Lee has won the NL Cy Young award for best pitcher. This comes one year after he spent the majority of last season in the minors. Talk about coming out of nowhere.

He went 22-3 this season, which was tops in the majors, and was given 24 of the 28 first place votes. Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay came in second and record setting closer Francisco Rodrigues came in third. You can read this article at http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3700686.
