I mean, theres so many people to thank -- all my teammates, for going out and competing the whole season, for everything they did for me. I cant thank them enough for everything they did. ?Scherzer said he wants to find a way to be better in 2017.Ive been dreaming up different ways to do it, but until we get to spring training, that will be my thing -- to find a new way, Scherzer said. But right now, its all about celebrating what happened in 2016.Cubs ace Jon Lester was the runner-up, with one first-place vote from members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Chicago teammate Kyle Hendricks came in third with two first-place votes. The other two first-place votes went to the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw, who finished fifth overall in voting.Scherzer led the majors in strikeouts (284) and WHIP (0.97), while leading the NL in wins (20), innings (228.1) and pitching WAR (6.2) and being tied for first in quality starts (26) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.07). Unfortunately for Scherzer, he also led the NL in home runs given up (31), making him the first pitcher since Johnson in 1999 to give up at least 30 homers and still win a Cy Young Award.Perhaps most notably, Scherzer authored just the fourth 20-strikeout performance in baseball history this season, as he baffled the Tigers in a May victory.For the writers to choose me for everything I was able to accomplish this year, Im so grateful, Scherzer said on the MLB Network broadcast.Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China .

It only means one thing: The Indy is back. The IndyCar series has made a home in Toronto every year, save one, since 1986 and is about to embark on its newest incarnation. For the first time in its 26-race history, the Toronto Indy is a two-race affair. Will the added action prove to fortify the races home in Toronto and Indys popularity in Canada? The Honda Indy has always been a weekend-long affair, with a festival taking over the Canadian National Exhibition grounds and its always been more than just the race, with the whole Indy caravan rolling in. That hasnt changed with this years schedule featuring the Firestone Indy Lights, Cooper USF2000 Championship – essentially rookie ball for aspiring kart racers - as well as the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks, an off-roading racing circuit. The slate is not for want of on-track action. That said, the Indy is only in its fifth year under Hondas sponsorship and is just six removed from being skipped entirely in the aftermath of the Indy Racing League and Champ Car World Series unification. Toronto is also the only Canadian stop on the IndyCar Series schedule in 2013. The 2012 season featured two stops, but Edmontons organizers opted not to stage a race in 2013 due to lack of attendance and support from local businesses.dddddddddddd Canada has not been down to just one Indy race since the last (and only) time Torontos course was passed over since Indy came to the lakeshore in 1986, which was back in 2008. In the glory days of the Champ Car circuit, Canada routinely hosted three races per year. So, can Toronto shoulder the load of keeping Indy alive for Canadian fans? The two-race scenario does offer Torontos fans a unique opportunity in getting more bang for their buck over the span of one weekend, but its not exactly like Toronto is getting special treatment. The series has doubled down on a weekend in Detroit already this season and will do so again in Houston in October. Will memories of the 2013 Honda Indy be clouded by the clarification of: "Which one?" Or, is doubling down on a familiar and fan-friendly circuit just the play IndyCar needs to get its wheels going once again in Canada. Certainly, a win (or two!) from Canadians James Hinchlciffe or Alex Tagliani would define the 2013 race one way or another, but without it do you think two races is the way to go to get Indy back on the map in Canada? As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
