NL West the worst division in baseball??
What planet were you on last season?
In case you missed the playoffs, the Wild Card team came from the NL West, The Giants had a winning record and were in the WC hunt until mid September, when in late April the pundits were speculating on SF losing 100 games this season.
Timmy was quite deserving, as were Carpenter and Wainwright. Vasquez and Haren also deserved consideration.

Do you have any idea who Cy Young is? You do know he has the record for the most losses right? So Zack Duke should have won it then right since we’re talking about wins and losses? What relavence does being on a contending team have since he only starts 1/5 of the teams starts? If awards was based on the character or morality of a player then 80% of the winners should return their award back. Last time I checked, Cy Young award nominees isn’t applying for sainthood.

Do you have any idea just who Cy Young was? he didn’t become the great Cy Young by winning 15 games a year and smoking pot. The entire record of the pitcher for the season should be considered. The best overall record was Carpenter or perhaps Wainwright. Lincecum should never win a Cy with 15 victories on a contending team. If he played for the Pirates, then he may have earned the award.

Larry,
What, exactly, is wrong about smoking pot? There are many worse things young people can be doing other than getting high. And seriously, who fuckin’ cares if he smokes?

Tim Lincecum is a pot head. What is this decision telling our young. That it’s okay to smoke pot? I don’t buy that he made a mistake. Pot is an illegal drug, many other people would still be in jail over this issue. The only mistake he made was getting caught.
One of the sports writers said over a month ago that Lincecum would win this award before the end of the season. He said that Carpenter and Wainwright didn’t have a chance.
How our sports writers sing different tunes these days. I guess smoking pot is okay with them. How many off them are doing this drug?

Dubious? Dubious how? Carp had more W’s. Completely irrelevant. Better ERA. Sort of relevant, even though (ahem) dubious calls by scorekeepers influence that stat. Dubious closer. Completely, completely, completely irrelevant.
I wouldn’t have complained, if Carp had taken it, but your kind of argument makes me feel good about Lincecum taking it.

Too late. they gave it to Lincecum, and a very dubious decision at best. Just because he had more strike outs? Carp. had more wins and lower ERA. he played on a team with a dubious “closer” who blew several for Carpenter. Very poor decision.

Tim is a good pitcher but he pitches in the NL West, the worst division in baseball. I wonder if we would be so foolish as to sign a long term deal with the midgets, I mean the giants. He would be much smarter to just play out his days in San Francisco and go to a team that has the capabilities of winning. He would make a lot more money too.
I personally thing that one of the Cardinals should receive the CY Young award. I understand your reasoning but I don’t buy into it. Chris Carpenter should be the man.
