Hey Adam Wainwright. Now would be a good time to WANT that Cy Young

At one point Adam Wainwright looked like the Cy Young Front Runner...He was 17-6 with an ERA of 1.99 on August 11 and it looked like a 20 win season and a sub 2.00 ERA were in his future.Then it looked like he decided to make a conscious effort to hand it over to Roy Halladay.He had been 1-5 since and his ERA has jumped up .51 points.Now of course he is still in the mix for the Cy Young and some
