First of all, I'd like to say that I didn't expect to win this year
because my team had the lousiest offense in the league which screwed
my W/L record up big time. If you look at how many times I've had 2
ER or less and ended up with a no-decision or even a loss, you'll
see that I easily could've had close to 25 wins, and less losses.
But perhaps today's voters are wiser than the older generation
(except the 2 bay area idiots) and noticed this problem too. How
many pitchers in history have won the Cy Young with a more pathetic
offense than my team? I'm pretty sure the answer is none. We had
BY FAR the worst OBP in baseball, and also the worst OPS in
baseball. In fact, the Giants had the distinct honor of being the
only team in baseball with an OPS below .700. It was amazing that I
even won 15 games despite such baggage. That in itself was a great
achievement.
Has there been any pitchers who won 2 Cy Youngs in their 1st 2 full
seasons? I doubt it. That's almost impossible. Who else but me
can do that?
To the 2 bay area idiot voters. Thank so much for your support. I
won, so it doesn't matter now, but imagine if I had lost the award
by 1 vote. Will you be able to sleep at night? Will you still have
the nerve to show your face to me and my teammates next season?
Will you still try to be buddies with us and get interviews? Lucky
for you, you've dodged a big bullet, so I'll expect you to come
crawling at my feet again next season and beg me to talk to you.
Don't worry; I'm a forgiving person.
To the stupid people who made a big deal about me smoking pot...
What's the big deal? Don't you know that these days smoking pot by
an elite athlete means he's arrived? Look up Michael Phelps. We're
both the greatest of all time in our respective sport. You should
worship us. (Sorry, I couldn't help poking fun at that certain
someone who made the phrase "I'm the greatest of all time" famous.)
To the idiot who tried to put me down because of a so-called bad
September: you must be retarded. I had one bad game in the month
and that makes me not deserving? Take a look at my game-to-game
stats:
Sep 3: 7 IP, 2 ER
Sep 14: 7 IP, 1 ER
Sep 20: 4 IP, 5 ER
Sep 25: 7 IP, 2 ER
Oct 1: 7 IP, 2 ER
With a half decent offense, I would've been 4-1 in the stretch run.
Is this what you call I wasn't there when the team needed me most?
Without me do you think they'd even get anywhere close to 88 wins?
Dumbass. Now go put your face back up your ass so that you don't
get laughed at by the whole world.
Thanks for coming, everyone. My name is Lincecum, and I'm Awesome.

I like it!
That was great -- thanks!
Thanks man, appreciate it. I guess you guys finally figured out how
I stay so relaxed under stressed situations...
Oh btw, forgot to bitch about one more thing. You know, we all
shoulda been celebrating the Rookie of the Year Award too if not for
management didn't know what they were doing last September. Panda
probably would've won the damn thing unanimously too, man. What a
shame that he didn't qualify. Don't worry, Panda, I'll get the
revenge for you. I'll ask for so much salary that they'll feel like
Zito's contract was chump change; they'll feel like they just got
kicked in the balls. Alright man, peace, dude!
P.S. Do you wanna take a wild guess what I'll be stuffing into the
turkey this Thursday?
