OK I'll play Devils Advocate.
Sabathia had a Better ERA than Beckett, More Strikeouts than Beckett, and Less Walks than Beckett. Sabathia Worked more games and pitched more Innings than Beckett. This was a tough choice this year for the Cy Young
Remember that the Post Season isn't usually looked at when it comes to the Cy Young either.
I wouldn't say Beckett got robbed....Sabathia had a stellar season and he deserved it too.
And Beckett has something he doesn't.....a 2007 World Championship I bet Sabathia would rather have that.

He is absolutely right, in every premise and subsequent conclusions. |

Which included the Orioles and Tampa Bay 
Both of whom had records as bad as, or worse than, the Royals. And don't forget how good Detroit was until the wheels started coming off in mid-August. |

If I remember correctly, Beckett had more wins in fewer games and fewer innings.

40 more innings for Sabathia, that did it. Those innings do a lot to preserve the bullpen.
Beckett will have to make it through the winter months knowing that he is the greatest playing pitcher in the postseaon.
