Congratulations to San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum who won the 2008 National League Cy Young Award on Tuesdsay afternoon. Lincecum earned 23 of 32 first place votes as he became the second Giants pitcher to win the award. Mike McCormick won the award clear back in 1967.

Lincecum was 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and a major league-best 265 strikeouts. He was very deserving of the award with those types of numbers!

Great job Mr. Lincecum!
