Pepsi's TRIVIA: Left-handed heaven
The last trivia question asked the three Canadian players who have more career homers than Jason Bay. The answer is Larry Walker, Matt Stairs and Jeff Heath. Leaderboard is updated. The new trivia question:
Jon Lester became just the third left-handed pitcher to win at least 10 games for the Red Sox in the past 15 years. Who are the other two?  HONOR CODE: No search engines or keyword searches (Leaderboard page has guideliness for what those terms mean). WINNER GETS: To write the game notes for Friday's game.
Pepsi has launched Old School, New School, where you can use codes on Mountain Dew and AMP products to redeem prizes such as cars, kicks, and gaming systems.

Just to clarify: Frank Viola, 13 wins in 1993. Final answer.
Now to figure out the other one...

Wow. What a stunning lack of lefties over the years.

Fenway is where lefties go to die. Just more proof of how good Lester has been.

And, not to drag this thread out any further (farther?), but it's why Andy Pettitte should've won the Cy in 2005. Pitching as a lefty in Minute Maid, his 2.39 ERA was better than Clemens' 1.87. The fact that Carpenter won it with a 2.83 is just plain idiotic.

Cy Young voting is never logical. Zito beating Pedro because he had one more win, even though Pedro had a better win pct., era and more Ks, not to mention playing in a hitters park was pretty ridiculous to me too. The voting system is antiquated and useless half the writers have no clue what they're doing and many of the one who do (Neyer, Law) don't get votes. I put absolutely no stock in offseason awards anymore.
