I don't have much to say today, so I would like to send my congrats to San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum for winning his second consecutive Cy Young Award today. He narrowly beat out Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter in voting, 100 to 94. Surprisingly enough, Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright actually received more first place votes (12) than Lincecum (11). The difference maker, however, was the fact that Lincecum received more second-place votes (15) than Wainwright (5). It was because of this that Wainwright actually finished third in voting behind Carpenter and Lincecum.
Well, enough of confusing you with the convoluted voting system for writers. Just enjoy it for what it is. A young pitcher moving into the upper echelon of MLB. Congrats once again to Lincecum! Somehow, I get the feeling that this won't be the last time he wins one.
