Just another loser pot smoker...

WOO-HOO!!!!

If Wainwright and Carpenter weren't on the same team, he would have lost.

/still deserving
//hope he can keep it up

Wainright was robbed. For serious.

There is something completely wrong with Lincecum winning another Cy Young...Potheads are nothing but lazy, stinky, serial rapist and in no way should they be displayed as anything else...

I submitted this with a better headline, but a non 670THESCORE source. I know better now.

Tim Lincecum is definetly cool.....Man.

If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

And yes, Wainright was robbed.

The trophy ceremony will take place tomorrow at 4:20 p.m.

The_Six_Fingered_Man: I submitted this with a better headline, but a non 670THESCORE source. I know better now.

Don't feel bad. All the other submitted headlines sucked just as much.

Best pitcher in the MLB.

I like him more that he smokes weed too.

homarjr: Best pitcher in the MLB.

Bwaahahahaha. What are you smoking?

Ready to congratulate him.

Dogfacedgod: If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

I'm sure he cares too.

And by the way, he is pretty obviously not a "loser".

PunchDrunkPanda: homarjr: Best pitcher in the MLB.

Bwaahahahaha. What are you smoking?

And who do you like?

VvonderJesus: If Wainwright and Carpenter weren't on the same team, he would have lost.

Perhaps, but I wonder how many wins Wainwright or Carpenter would've had if they had been pitching for the Giants instead of the Cards? And how many would Timmy have had if he'd had someone even remotely as good as Albert Pujols in his lineup to provide some run support?

To be fair, Carpenter and Timmy's run support were only separated by .01, but Timmy's still the best, and will be for some time to come.

It must be nice to be able to pitch and not worry about any playoff pressure.

PunchDrunkPanda: homarjr: Best pitcher in the MLB.
Bwaahahahaha. What are you smoking?

Yeah, the guy only led the NL in strikeouts, came close to leading in NL in both wins (while playing for a team with no office) and ERA, and had opponents' hitterz bat all of .206 against him for the season, all at the ripe old age of 23. And all he managed to do is become the first pitcher ever to win the Cy Young in both of his first two full seasons in the majors.

You're right, it's laughable to consider a marginal, unimpressive pitcher like that as the league's best.

I'm glad he took up pitching because he was a shiat actor.

Why is he always touching his nose in that movie?

4NSpy: It must be nice to be able to pitch and not worry about any playoff pressure.

0/10

it must be even nicer to pitch knowing that if you give up 3 runs, you're going to lose. and its even nicer to be completely wrong, given that the Giants were in contention until the last week of the season.

Dogfacedgod: If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

And yes, Wainright was robbed.

Ha ha...yeah I have 0 respect for Wainright as well, that 2nd place Cy Young loser...Hey Tim, roll one up for me, too!

My beliefs on baseball awards:

Writers complain about increasing salaries.
Writers vote for baseball awards for players.
Baseball players who get rewards make more money.
Baseball awards are used partly in baseball contracts.
Players use the writers awards for personal profit.
Young players use awards in arbitration to make more money.
Therefore writers raise salaries by giving awards.

So writers should select players who will potentially profit the least from awards but they don't. Carpenter should have won since he has the least to gain and because he was IMO the most dominate this season.

jackiepaper: Carpenter and Timmy's run support were only separated by .01, but Timmy's still the best, and will be for some time to come.

Timmy pitched in a 5 or 6 blowout wins--probably the only 5 or 6 blowout wins the Giants had all season--which artifically skewed his season average run support numbers upwards. But in the majority of his losses or no-decisions, he only gave up a couple of runs, which is often enough to lose given the Giants' batting line-up.

Cyberluddite: Yeah, the guy only led the NL in strikeouts, came close to leading in NL in both wins (while playing for a team with no office)

I'm pretty sure the Giants have an office. They have cubicles and everything!

Dogfacedgod: If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

And yes, Wainright was robbed.

I think this guy needs to be tagged a troll since he's made a lot of troll like statements throughout the sports threads. When we tag them we can know when to ignore them. Just like we did with that Spike Lees Fav Farker guy.

Reminder, the National League is AAAA.

Ha ha ha ha! AAAA! I get it! Brilliant!

Your beliefs are stupid.

My question is this: How in the hell did Javier Vazquez get a 2nd place vote with Dan Haren getting a 3rd? Neither one of those guys is better than any single one the big 3 contenders.

>If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

I just walked across your lawn and planted some seeds in your flower bed.

/blow me

Wolsey: My question is this: How in the hell did Javier Vazquez get a 2nd place vote with Dan Haren getting a 3rd? Neither one of those guys is better than any single one the big 3 contenders.

Ron Paul?

carnifex2005: Reminder, the National League is AAAA.

My gosh, you're right, we should just disband the NL altogether.

World Series winners (new window) since 2000:

2000 New York Yankees
2001 Arizona Diamondbacks NL
2002 Anaheim Angels
2003 Florida Marlins NL
2004 Boston Red Sox
2005 Chicago White Sox
2006 St. Louis Cardinals NL
2007 Boston Red Sox
2008 Philadelphia Phillies NL
2009 New York Yankees

Yeah, the AL won 6 out of the last 10 World Series...sounds like the NL should just quit.

So, don't let the facts get in the way of you making idiotic statements about baseball...

Oh, and Wainwright was robbed...

whens he get picked up by the mets and start sucking out loud?

Dogfacedgod: If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

And yes, Wainright was robbed.

Quick, name a drug that's more destructive than pot ...

If you said cigarettes or alcohol, you're correct!

Quick, name a drug that's more addictive than pot ...

If you said cigarettes or alcohol, you're correct!

Out of pot, alcohol or cigarettes, name the one most often prescribed by doctors.

Chastain86: Wainright was robbed. For serious.

How, exactly? Because Lincecum had fewer wins? Lincecum beat him in ERA, WHIP, ERA+, H/9, HR/9, K/9, and K/BB ratio. In fact, he destroyed Wainwright in most of those categories.


The only thing Wainwright has on Lincecum is 4 more wins, 7.2 more IP, and his 2.5 BB/9 beats Lincecum's 2.7.

So, again; how exactly was Wainwright robbed?

Pujols: So, don't let the facts get in the way of you making idiotic statements about baseball...

Or sample size in the way of yours...

AL NL
2000 136 115
2001 132 120
2002 123 129
2003 115 137
2004 126 125
2005 136 116
2006 154 98
2007 137 115
2008 149 103
2009 137 114

How did a thread about baseball and the Cy Young award turn into arguing like clowns about smoking pot and losers?

/Yes, I know Lincecum got busted for smoking pot
//Welcoming myself to Fark

Pujols: Yeah, the AL won 6 out of the last 10 World Series...sounds like the NL should just quit.

So, don't let the facts get in the way of you making idiotic statements about baseball...

Well, the AL has taken 6 of the last 10 World Series, and also also 9 of the last 14. And then there's the AL's complete dominance in Interleague Play. And how the numbers of players who go from the AL to the NL get demonstrably better, and how the reverse is demonstrably not true (see: Holliday, Matt).

Oh, and Wainwright was robbed...

Um, no. Get a brain, moran. Lincecum was demonstrably better.

Dogfacedgod: If that guy smokes the pot, I have 0 respect for the loser.

And yes, Wainright was robbed.

How about this one?

Or this one?

What do your numbers mean here? Are those the interleague numbers or something?

Oh, and for those of you that are calling me an idiot for saying Wainwright was robbed...look at my Fark handle. I'm just slightly biased here...

Count me in! I'm going to be bored until Spring Training anyway...

Should have went to a Cardinal

/could have been either Carp or Waino
//Wainright had more first place votes than anyone but came in third
///me thinks there needs to be a better system

JC

Pujols: Oh, and for those of you that are calling me an idiot for saying Wainwright was robbed...look at my Fark handle. I'm just slightly biased here...

Say Carpenter was robbed instead.

I'd still have given it to Lincecum, but you could make a better argument for Carpenter than Wainwright, I think.

Carpenter had more wins, lower ERA and lower WHIP. Bogus award is bogus.
