Congratulations are in order for Tim Lincecum on receiving the National League Cy Young award in just his second season in the bigs. Super thumbs up. Granted the kid should be showered with rewards for playing ball in San Fran for an entire year without demanding a trade, ultimately resulting in a hostage situation and bloodshed. Tough guy, that Lincecum.

As we mentioned before, no one cares who wins this award. So that about wraps things up on this side of the jump. Click the link for a thing.


The Dugout

**Online Host** Welcome to Giants Chat!
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: congrats on winning the cy young tim thats big ass trophy
TimTheEnchanter: thanks. it's actually a plaque
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: yeah everyone probably had no idea what i was talking about thanks for clearing that up. you're so smart they should stop calling you "the freak" and start calling you "the f*** mouth"
TimTheEnchanter: screw you dude at least no one says i look like a kempt, less successful rod beck
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: how'd you do it?
TimTheEnchanter: it's all in the mechanics dude. me and my dad have been crafting my windup since I was a little kid. he was an engineer for Boeing.
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: thats what she said
TimTheEnchanter: Boeing? that's a bit of a stretch
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: that's what she said
TimTheEnchanter: right. anyway, we developed a delivery fine-tuned to my less-than-massive frame, channeling all of my energy to the ball while reducing stress on my elbow and shoulder.
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: huh
TimTheEnchanter: So not only am I capable of consistently throwing 95 MPH fastballs, curveballs with above-average break, and a change-up that can dip 10 MPH, but I'll be able to do it until I'm 40.
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: well yeah ill be pitcing until im forty too
TimTheEnchanter: without steroids
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: oh
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: well la de da maybe people should stop calling you "the f*** mouth" and start calling you "mr. i got no goddamn clue what reality is"
TimTheEnchanter: whatever. I should be getting a bunch of these things. you want this one? they spelled my name wrong

MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: lincecreampie

weird
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: can you teach me?
TimTheEnchanter: I cant say my mechanics will help your doughy, frat boy physique, but I can definitely offer some critiques. lets see what you got.
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: /porky pig pitch
TimTheEnchanter: wow. uh, let's see.
TimTheEnchanter: you should definitely be taking some sort of step towards the plate. and windmilling your arm 10 times before you release? care to explain?
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: velocity dude. duh.
TimTheEnchanter: try this: raise your elbow to shoulder height and maintain elevation until the very end of your follow through. feel the energy travel towards your hand and into the ball.

MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: /karate chops air violently

TimTheEnchanter: not exactly what i was getting at. you want to minimize the jerky movements. everything should be fluid.
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: /douses elbow in kerosene

/ignites
TimTheEnchanter: I don't think you're physically doing what your brain is picturing. try practicing in front of a mirror

TimTheEnchanter: uh and your ligaments are beginning to draw and tuck. are you going to put that out?
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: its cool man i was planning on having tommy john soon anyway im almost 25
TimTheEnchanter: that's terrible
MattCainsAHelluvaDrug: thats what she said
TimTheEnchanter: i still like you better than barry zito
