San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum has won the National League Cy Young Award, an honor given each year in baseball to the best pitcher. Which is a pretty big deal, it seems. Even though Lincecum didn't pitch in a pennant race, and managed to overcome the always "ever-present East Coast bias," the Gaints' baby-faced pitcher won the award.
Born June 15, 1984 in Bellevue, Washington, Lincecum is a starting pitcher for the Giants. His nicknames are "The Franchise" and "The Freak". While pitching for University of Washington, Timmy became the first player to be named both the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year.
He is a Gemini and the second Giant ever to win the Cy Young Award.
Congratulations, Tim. You, sir, make the Giants not totally suck.

For a while there, SFist_Jon was advocating Tim The Enchanter as a good nickname for Lincecum. I like this idea.
We should start that again when the season gets underway.
timmmmmmmmmmmay!!!!!
Yay!! This almost makes up for the season....almost.
He deserved it. If he had pitched for a good team, he would have had over 20 wins.
I read it as Linceum, like a museum for lint.
I still have Lincecum's photos of his first pitch in the major leagues.
They are great action shots.
