Tim Lincecum's Outstanding and Fatiguing Season
Tim Lincecum eeked out his second straight Cy Young on Thursday. While the voting was close and, to some, controversial, he's a deserving winner. The Giants eeked everything out of Lincecum's campaign...
The Curves of Zack Greinke
Zack Greinke earned the 2009 Cy Young Award earlier today. It was well deserved, and not much of a surprise. I've covered Greinke via PITCHf/x on a few occasions* (here, here, here, here and here), so...
