Well deserved. I'm glad they chose the best pitcher, as opposed to the pitcher with the most W's. In the Cy Young race, the W total can be such an overrated statistic.

There was no doubt in my mind that he was most deserving, whether or not he would get it I had no idea.

He was the logical choice although King Felix was also very deserving. They were the only 2 possible winners as far as I was concerned.

The guy flat out dominated, but because he played for the Royals, he didn't have that many wins to show for it.... kinda like Tim Lincecum this year. It's a longshot, but I hope Timmy gets it on Thursday.

LOL He wasnt even the best pitcher on his team. I wont be shocked if he wins the award but he should finish 3rd based on the year he had.
Lincecum beat Wainwright on every category that he could control:
ERA
WHIP
K's
Shutouts
Quality Starts
Wainwright beat him in 1 area - wins. Jeez.. you think having Pujols and Holiday on the Giants might have resulted in Timmy winning 20??????
