One Chicago hack writer left him off of the ballot entirely apparently.

Russo actually had Lincecum on his show yesterday. I was only able to catch maybe five minutes of the interview, but for a 24 year old kid, he sounds very mature and bright. He's the same age I am...can't imagine what it must be like to win a freaking Cy-Young at that age!

I'm glad the voters got it right. You can't always say that about them.

I guarantee this was the first time that the Cy Young winner looked like the ball boy accepting the award.

I'm convinced that that is why the people of the Bay Area love this kid, he actually looks like a kid blowing away the big boys with his heat. He's a lot of fun to watch. Him and Francis from the Rockies are the youngest looking pitchers in the majors.
