GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 So who's going to have a better year? Duke or the Freak?This thread should be mandatory reading before opening day every year!I'll take Timmy, but I wouldn't be surprised of Duke had a better year. He has a better team around him.

He has a better team around him.Duke is hurt again and even if he was healthy, the freak would be the choice every time (at least until the Giants burn out his arm) Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 **** the cy young , Tim L for MVP.+3489257I laugh and cringe every time I remember how close Sebean was to trading Lincecum before last season. THAT would be the worst trade in baseball history. Even more than Ernie Broglio and Bobby Shantz for Lou Brock. Good one there Cubs! Link to post Share on other sites
miamicanes 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 no pitcher should be MVP. Cy Young award for pitchers. Pitchers get too much credit the same as QB's. GGW, the majors are littered with former cy young award winners that amounted to nothing after. but your in luck cuz you have sabean on your side. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Until they change it to Most Valuable Position Player it shouldn't matter what position you play. In terms of the MVP award pitchers are way way way underrepresented so im not sure how they get too much credit. Cliff Lee was probably the best player in the AL last year and if the MVP always went to the best player that year Santana should probably have one by now. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Oh jesus, I was just making a joke, not trying to start a debate about if a pitcher should be MVP. LOLERSKATZ! Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 can we just give Lincecum the cy young now so we don't have to waste our time? Link to post Share on other sites
Sportsmack 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 can we just give Lincecum the cy young now so we don't have to waste our time? no hitters aren't over after 7 innings, nice try tho...(sw) Link to post Share on other sites

gobears 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 :PI forgot his name, but the A's pitcher that two hit shut out the red sox at fenway. he looked pretty good. That was Anderson who looks like he is turning the corner. Braden has been solid all season and Outman looked fine before he got hurt. Cahill has looked good at times although he's not as far along as Anderson. If the A's are patient, they have the makings of a decent staff next year - now they just have to find some hitters (Holliday will be gone, Giambi and Garciaparra have disappointed, Chavy always hurt). I think that the Duke will be let go - gets injured too much. Gio Gonzalez looked good in an earlier start so maybe in time, he could be another good one. Link to post Share on other sites

Moneyball16 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Cain isnt even close to Tim in anything but ERA and Wins. Tragically that's all the voters seem to care about.Lincecums K/BB is 191/41Cains is 117/54Im pretty confident that by the end of the season Tim will have broke away from Cain in ERA and Wins though so it shouldn't be a problem.Carpenter and Haren are deserving though. They have both been great and seem like they will continue being great for the rest of the season.While I don't think Vazquez should win the Cy Young, he is very underrated and he has been great too.Also Hopefully Tim gets to 300 strikeouts. That would be a great feat in this day and age of low pitch counts and increased reliance on the bullpen. He is currently on pace for 287. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 basically an 1/8th is the size of a thumb? giant thumbs or some dense dank there.The guy added that he was describing a "whole thumb." Imagine if you cut your thumb off all the way down to the wrist, with all that sort of thumb-meat from your palm (it would be like a drumstick). That's about the size of a big one-nugget-eighth, dontcha think?That, or maybe this (big thumbs): Link to post Share on other sites
