“The Franchise” Wins 2008 NL Cy Young Award

Rarely do I get a chance to say something positive about Bay Area sports in this little corner of the internet, but today I’m all over the news about Tim Lincecum winning the NL Cy Young award. 

I had the pleasure of seeing this guy pitch a nooner at AT&T park this year, and he’s even more amazing to watch pitch in person. Seriously, the kid looks like a Little Leaguer out there on the field of pros. At 5’ 11” and 170lbs, it’s simply mind boggling that he can pitch in the mid 90’s for about 7 or 8 innings at a time, and even more impressive that he led the whole league in K’s this year.

So yes, finally I get to cheer about something as a Giants fan. Congrats, Tim!
