Cy Young

I interrupt this year's installment of the Bay Area Professional Football Debacle Challenge (I think a good acronym for that would be BAD Football, but I really can't be bothered to massage the words to make it work) to say congratulations to Tim Lincecum, 2008 National League Cy Young Award winner. As a Raiders-Giants fan, it is often hard to believe that my teams were blowing their respective league championship games earlier this very decade. The fall has been painful, with very few bright spots.

Tim Lincecum is a bright spot, and he's only 24. Nnamdi Asomugha is a bright spot. He's signed only through this season...

Oops - this was supposed to be a positive post. It is nice to see recognition given to a West Coast team that didn't come close to the playoffs. Perhaps the same will be in store for Nnamdi come Pro Bowl time.
