Roy Halladay wins Cy Young

NEW YORK -- Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies has unanimously won the NL Cy Young Award, making him the fifth pitcher to earn the honor in both leagues.

Halladay pitched a perfect game in May and then threw a no-hitter in the playoffs. In his first season with the Phillies, he led the NL with 21 wins and topped the majors in innings, shutouts and complete games.

Halladay received all 32 first-place votes in results released Tuesday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Adam Wainwright of St. Louis was second and Ubaldo Jimenez of Colorado was third. San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum, who won the past two NL Cy Youngs, finished 11th.

Seriously, what a terrible thread.

A thread announcing the winner of the Cy Young award would make sense in Other Sports.
A thread announcing the winner of ROY would also make sense. Just because the ROY happened to be a Giant didn't make it a "Giant thread."

Get over it.

Wainwright cost himself the Cy Young this year for not playing for a playoff contender, and instead playing for a team that lost the Central Division to the Reds....yes those Reds.

Seriously, had to know something like this was coming so he could make it a "Giants thread." Pretty funny.
