tiny tim the freaK Lin-Cy-Young!

Tim Lincecum was rewarded for his excellent performance in 2008 by receiving the National League Cy Young Award. In his breakout season Lincecum posted an 18-5 record with a 2.62 ERA and 265 strikeouts. Lincecum is only the twelfth pitcher to win the Cy Young on a below .500 team and only the seventh pitcher to finish at least 13 games above .500 on a team at least 13 games below .500. Best of all, Lincecum is only 24 years old!

Lincyoung: Such a beast, I can't believe anybody would vote for Brandon Webb or Johan Santana.
