Look at both Wainwright's and Carpenters numbers in August, when the
Cards went from a .5-game lead in the division a 10.5-game lead on
September 1: 9-1 with a sub-2.00 ERA.
Two of these guys pitched their best when their team needed it; one
did not.
And the one who did not? Got the award.
Dumba$$ voters.
>Terrible pick

Yeah Wainwright and Carpenter are great hitters too. Having Pujols and
Holliday was just a bonus to their skills.
it's not a one-month award PINHEAD!!
I was surprised he won, but I chalk it up to the fact there was no
clear stud this year, so the voting was wide open.

Kotex cries in protest .... wahahahaahqahahahhahahahahahhahah!
So Lincecum gets the credit when he wins, but ... the hitters take the
blame when he loses.
Okay.
Again, the Giants were one game out of the wild card spot on September
1. They were basically eliminated from the playoffs by the end of the
month.
In between, Lincecum missed a start and lost 75% of his decisions.
This is why the Giants have never won a World Series in San Francisco:
can't win when it matters.
Enjoy the Cy Young award; Zito can tell you how useless they are,
anyway.
No one claimed it was, but when so many other key measurements are all
but even, you should look at who pitched best when it mattered most.

Clearly, although when two writers leave the NL ERA leader off their
ballots entirely, you have to wonder ... I found it interesting
Wainwright had the most first-place votes yet finished third. The guy
went 4-1 with a 1.30 in August when the Cardinals improved their
division lead by ten games to all but clinch it, and he walked four
batters that entire month.
Lincecum choked when the Giants needed him to win most -- and winning
the award screws the Giants in the salary negotiation area, too. I
mean, do you really want to pay a lot of money for a guy who has
demonstrated he can't win down the stretch? He's 25-6 career pre-ASB
and 15-11 career post-ASB -- including just 4-4 this year when the
Giants actually had a shot at the playoffs.
Throw in the marijuana bust, and you got to wonder if Timmay's getting
high when the pressure is on him.

This act is so tired.
Most trolls have fun for a week and then move on. But, much like that
"Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame" guy, Tonawanda trolls for years
about the same subjects. It's rather sad.
They're almost as useless as you, blutto.
He just jealous that one of his steroid heros from Oakland didn't win
the award. After all, with so many broken down arms, what else could
they be taking?
Maybe he'll make Timmy's marijauna bust a writing project for his
class?
Last I heard, the award is for the WHOLE season, not just for
August.....

For two guys. We don't know what everybody else's criteria was.

We pretty much expect this kind of disturbed rant from the
overweight, compulsively obsessed loser. If he has any children
boy do I feel sorry for them but my guess is he's too "enlightened"
for that bwahaha.

Here's Lincecum's September record (courtesy AL):
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
IOW, one bad game out of five. So on top of being a fat fucking
loser you're dishonest as hell, Sammi. They kind of go together.
