This is highway robbery.
Linecum’s won loss differential is 8 (15-7) & Carpenter’s is 13 (17-4). What’s more is that Carpenter had a better ERA. I guess the only thing that matters is strikeouts. I don’t get it. Seven other guys had 15 wins so what is the big deal there, and three guys had more wins than him. Woops, we already determined that wins and ERA do not matter. I would love a face to face meeting with the two gutless cowards that left Carpenter off the ballot. Is there any way to find out who they are? They would fit well in the Iranian elections. They stink.

I wonder what Timmy's run support avg is compared to Carpenter's.

Chris Carpenter, STL  9  14  7  94
Adam Wainwright, STL  12  5  15  90

If the dope that left Carpenter off the ballot, for pitching 30 less innnings, had put him on, Carpenter wins. We need to find out who that was and send him a gift basket full of Giants paraphernalia.

I think it was Keith Law, can't be 100% positive on that though. He still wouldn't have won, I think it's a 5-3-1 system for the points. Even if the votes for Haren and Vasquez went to Carpenter in the exact same positions, they would have tied at the very least.

OOPS... just saw your post and you are correct about the voting. As far as Keith Law ... I thought only the beat writers had votes. Are you sure that Law has a vote?

Just found it:

Quote:
Two voters, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus and Keith Law of ESPN.com, did not include Carpenter on their ballots.

Like you said, they would have tied if either one of them had put them on their ballots.

?????????? How would they have tied if either had put them on ballot? Carp finished 6 pts behind Lincy and 3rd place votes are just worth 1 pt. He would have needed a first and 2nd to win or a first and 3rd to tie.

Actually, neither writer voted for him.

I had to post this even though I stole it:

This is absolutely ridiculous. Lincecum shouldn’t even have been considered, Waino and Carp had it in the bag. If Lincecum is so good what happened in the All Star game then? I know Lincecum is decent but not when compared to either Waino or Carp. This is sickening.

Agreed. If you look at all the stats, Lincecum was the 8th or 9th pitcher at best, and he still won!

He's "decent"

Excuses excuses. Shouldn't you be more disappointed Wainwright came in third after you were hyping him up more than anyone else?

Bitter? I think you being a Cubs fan can agree its RIDICULOUS that two guys didn't even mention Carpenter on their ballot. Most Giants fans here I'm sure will agree.
