Gavin Floyd Fantastic in Wash Out of Detroit 7-0 (Game 10, '08)

It was suggested by a talk show host on a sports radio show today if every team was the Detroit Tigers for Gavin Floyd, he would likely win the Cy Young Award.  He has been fantastic against the Tigers, but probably no better than he was on this rainy day in Chicago.  What impressed me a lot was the incredible movement on his curveball.  He had a lot of break on it, and it clearly had the Tigers' hitter fooled.  It is a shame Gavin's no-hit bid was ended in the 8th inning, but in the bigger picture, it is Floyd's ability to help the White Sox win that is my biggest concern.  I can only hope he will continue to be effective.  Pitching will be key.
