Timmy gets the cy young over carpenter and wainwright for some strange reason.

You can't say its not right. Tim actually had a better season than he did last year when he won the Cy Young. He was a deserving candidate and I'm glad he won it

I thought Carpenter would get it though

I knew Tim Lincecum was going to win. I also knew it was going to be way too close to really have a stand out winner. But Carpenter and Wainwright really canceled each other out on this one cuz Adam had more 1st place votes but Carpenter had way more 2nd place votes.

All 3 were deserving winners so I would have been fine with either

Yea people who know their baseball would understand if any of the 3 won it. I think all 3 were very deserving of winning it.

I like Tim, and there's no doubt he deserves the CY Young, but I don't get why Carpenter didn't win it.

hmmm lets see it comes down to semantics for this award this year.

Tim had about 30 more IP, 1 more CG, Tim also had like 120 more K's, and his opppents BA was lower by like .15.

Carpenter did have a better ERA and WHIP.

But I can see where your coming from if you think Carp deserved it and I wouldnt disagree with you.

I think due to his drug bust, Tim should NOT have been considered.

That, and he has FUGLY long hair

You could say that, but why should character issues have an impact on an award that is primarily based upon performance on the field?

I dont use weed and I fully condone it, but Tim's drug use shouldnt be held against him for the Cy Young award imo.

i hate the giants, but tim definitely deserved it. quit hating some of you.

without this guy, the giants would have been even worse. without carpenter or wainwright, the cards would have still made the playoffs

this was actually super close. like flip a 3-sided coin.
no one should be mad at it except cards fans i suppose

The Giants still have Matt Cain who had a great year as well.

A Cy Young candidate himself...Cain had a great season and I hope that continues.

If you couldn't tell Tim smoked, then I don't know what to say. Besides profiling, how does that make him any less of a phenominal pitcher? Just because he smokes weed doesn't make him less talented...he still went out there and performed like a deserving Cy Young winner didn't he? He might have even smoked on gameday...but I bet he still went out there and dominated those games. He should get an award for pitching impaired <_<
