Tim Lincecum and the Cy Young: The Day of Reckoning

Either the Giants have their first Cy Young award winner since 1967, or this site will riot. Virtual cars will flip over; newspaper racks will go through the windows of the FanPost store; there will be poorly organized chants in an attempt to fool people into thinking the riot is an honest protest. Nope. It'll be a riot.

I've been on 538.com all morning, but Nate Silver has nothing on the NL Cy Young race. Come on. I thought you were a baseball guru first. Like it wouldn't be possible to run some regression analysis for the SB Nation winner, the MVN Awards, the Sporting News pitcher of the year, and the MLBPA Player's Choice awards. They all went for Lincecum. That's a good sign, right? Right, Mr. Silver? Hello? MY PESSIMIST'S MIND NEEDS THE REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF A STATISTICAL GENIUS. If you could also work in some pie charts, that'd be awesome.

I could have gone serious today, you know. I could have wrote one of those bloviation sensations that I dust off every six months. Because, see, Tim Lincecum represents the changing of the guard. The last time a Giants pitcher was in the running for the Cy Young, he lost it to a drugged up, French-Canadian freakshow. Do you know how disillusioning it is to have a major baseball award given to a performance-enhancing drug abuser? It's a crime ag...DON'T BRING UP THE 59 MVP AWARDS THAT BONDS WON, DAMMIT...we're talking about the Cy Young, here. Totally different. And if Lincecum wins, it will be a statement. The skinny kid with a robotic arm wins the award in the era of steroids, saves Mr. Niedermeyer's house from foreclosure, and gets the girl. How could Lifetime and ESPN not already be in a bidding war for the rights to that TV movie?

So what's it going to be, BBWAA? A reprise of the Summer of Love? Or an injustice that sets off the Autumn of Quick-Burning Disgust that Eventually Fades into Eternal Annoyance?

Open Waiting for the Announcement Thread. At some point I'll update this post, and the tone of the thread will either turn to this:

 

...or this...

But now that you guys have pointed it out, that whole band does look sad. Like they are being forced to play against their will.

In order to keep my mind right, I am imagining the band as the BBWAA and the horses as Giants fans.

My current Interwebs obsession is pretty awesome. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com. It's not being updated right now. Hope for more at your own risk.
