good thing the voters got this thing right. unlike some of the other awards.

NEW YORK -- Tim Lincecum is the National League Cy Young Award winner, taking home pitching's highest honor in his second major league season.

The slender kid with the whirling windup on Tuesday joined Mike McCormick (1967) as the only San Francisco Giants pitchers to win a Cy Young.

Lincecum received 23 of 32 first-place votes and 137 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Brandon Webb of the Arizona Diamondbacks got four first-place votes and finished second with 73 points

No surprise, guy was lights out on a crappy offensive team.
Could have won even more than 18 with some support.

Congrats to Lincecum, but if those doggy relievers could pitch, Santana would have had 6 or 7 more wins...the Mets bullpen really sucked big time for him big time...

AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THOSE BLOWN SAVES....I know the if arguments, but in this case they are true...the Mets would have won the pennant against my beloved PHILLIES, IF the Mets bullpen came through...and just food for thought, Lidge never blew a save the whole season!!

respect your opinion VIEJO but closers should never win and what if Lincecum was even on a good team. He'd prob have a few more or even 6 more wins.
