It would be a fun freak out thread after he won the AL Cy Young, at least.

If by “fun” you mean “unspeakably agonizing”, then yes, I agree.

What matters most: Wins, Saves, New York Pressure

“It’s funny because toward the end of the season, in early September, I was thinking Lincecum would be in my top two,” De Luca told John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. “I thought Webb’s victories (22) stood out to me more than anything, and Lincecum didn’t have the victories. Twenty victories was a big deal. We had a stretch there where no one was hitting 20.”

Added De Luca: “Santana (undefeated after June 28) stood out because there was so much pressure not just being in New York, but to be who he is. With Lidge being a perfect closer (41-for-41 in save chances), that was a tough pick for me, not to pick him No. 1.”

De Luca said he grew up in northern California, in Sacramento, and had Giants season tickets until 1984.

Sound logic

Santana stood out because there was so much pressure not just being in New York, but to be who he is.

Santana gets extra points for being himself.

DeLuca

Santana stood out because there was so much pressure not just being in New York, but to be who he is

So I suppose there’s no pressure on Timmy for having an entire franchise on his shoulders, or for knowing that he’d have to give up fewer than 2 runs in order to have a chance at a victory?

I’m thinking DeLuca is really a “LoDuca” and spews Dodger Blue.
We all know that Sacramento isn’t “Northern California” anyway, despite its location.
