Tim Lincecum’s first name is also the title of an amazing Replacements album.

Brandon Webb shares the same last name as Spud Webb.

What would you rather watch, BBWAA voter, a Replacements gig or a 5’7" guy play for the Atlanta Hawks?

I’m still trying to figure out what sinkerballer rhymes with “nun tour.”

“Derek Lowe” doesn’t rhyme with “nun tour”.

Pitching for a historically bad offense should tally bonus points in Tims favor.

Also, 17 wins while only weighing 160 pounds vs. 22 wins and weighing 228 pounds should also count in favor of Tim.

Pound for pound the best pitcher in baseball!

"Lincecum is hella cool, and Brandon Webb is a total weenie. "

I totally agree

Vote for Lincecum or I’ll come over there and punch you in the throat.

The % of team’s wins doesn’t work:

Tim: 24.3%
Webb: 26.8%

I like the stat of left game with lead and didn’t get the win, something like 5 for Tim, 1 for Webb.

Tim Lincecum is smaller-than-average and amazing, and manages to get underrated.

David Eckstein, however, is smaller-than-average and sucks, and is constantly praised.

I guess you have to be small AND suck to be loved. There is no justice.

if he doesn’t win, that might save the Giants a few million when trying to extend him this winter

Weenie and his weenie friend^

Professional hella cool super badass^

“If you put Brandon Webb on your ballot, that would be a good ballot- for me to poop on.”

Triumph

Tim looks 12 years old and can’t grow facial hair. When he grows up, he should be throwing 110 mph.

Brandon Webb is old and already declining with bad facial hair.

Analysis: Webb walked 8 Giant hitters, which is almost impossible to do unless it’s intentional. Ergo, he sucks.

I am less concerned with Timmy winning the CY, than I am with him being fully effective in upcoming seasons. Let Webb have the hardware – I just want Timmy to be, you know, Timmy during the next couple seasons.

I am feeling some foreboding : 220+ IP in his second professional season, most Baseball Prospectus “pitcher abuse points” in the past three seasons, 138 pitches is the most any guy has thrown in years, small frame, couldn’t locate his pitches last night, last night was the lowest game score in his past 47 starts, our last straight-up ACE Jason Schmidt was never the same after being overworked …

I guess what I am really trying to say is that Bochy is a foolish dumb idiot for trying to win Bruce Jenkins He-Man points and trot Lincecum back out there for a few more innnings his last few starts.

WELL HUNG, YUMMY, CHOICEST INDUCTION

Don’t. Doubt. The Anagrammer. Ever.
