Lincecum Wins Cy Young Award
For all the trash-talking I do about the Giants, I sure do love little Tim Lincecum. He’s a real treat to watch, even watching him usually involves sitting near annoyingly quiet Giants fans (don’t they know how to shout and cheer and jug beer?).
Lincecum is the first SF Giant to win the Cy Young Award in 41 years — since Mike McCormick in 1967.

I love this kid.
Holiday!!!!
Sometimes I could just kiss Billy Beane*. This Friday is my birthday and what do the A’s get me after a season of heart-ache and pain? MATT HOLIDAYYYYYYYY! Oh, I couldn’t be more thrilled. He was almost the 2007 NL MVP!!! Besides Jake Peavey from SD he is the
most sought after player in the trade market and instantly
becomes the A’s best player. In 2007 he hit .340 BA 36 HR and 137 RBI
when the rockies were good. Last year he fell off a little but I got a good feeling about this one. 2009 is going to be is golden year.
Now, will Sabathia go to the Angeles? Will Manny go to the Yankees? Everyday is filled with more questions…
*If the A’s get Giambi, I may also want to slap Beane. Not because I think Giambi wouldn’t be the offensive powerhouse the A’s need next season, but because I can’t imagine how the A’s marketing team are going to deal with Giambi-antics.
