Lincecum Wins 2008 NL Cy Young Award

[Soul]

Does anyone think Lidge was ripped off? Personally I don't think so.

Lidge was 32nd in the NL in pitcher VORP. Of course, VORP is affected by the innings that a pitcher pitches, but in an award named after Cy Young, I consider the innings pitched an important part of the equation.

 

I do too. I've been hearing a little bitterness that Lidge was perfect and didn't receive serious consideration. But I also feel like a starter is contributing so much more.

Lidge was the clear NL leader in WPA this year....

 

Also, Marmol was 4th and Dempster 5th, just in front of Webb, Sabathia, and Hamels.

I'm really surprised to see so few votes for CC. What happened there?

 

Wonder if any of the voters were swayed by the fact that he lost twice to the Cubs.

He took the loss in 1 game, he lost 2 games he started.

He has some jacked up teeth.

 

Seriously. Dude, go to a dentist.

 

The Giants couldn't afford dental because they spent all their money on AARP memberships.

 

HEY-O!!!

I'm going to suggest "They only cover dentures"
