Tim Lincecum is young, has some of the best “stuff” in baseball and just picked up his second consecutive Cy Young award. As you might imagine, San Francisco Giants fans are rather pleased. A quick look at SB Nation’s McCovey Chronicles and you’ll see some of that pure, unabashed, spiteful enjoyment that all sports fans love.
Giants Fans Celebrate Lincecum’s Cy Young Win
Two full seasons, two Cy Youngs. That's two more than Juan Marichal. One more than Orel Hershisher, Eric Gagne, Fernando Valenzuela, and Mike Scott, all of whom can eat hot death.
Tim Lincecum: Cy Young Award winner. Again. You'd think that we'd be jaded because he won it last year. Nope. Still pretty danged exciting. Congrats, Tim.
Spend a few minutes within the comments of that post, though, and you’ll find yourself knee-deep in some of the most enthusiastic (and creative) Giants fans out there. Where else can you find a gif of Lincecum driving around in a “Zoolander” scene, people so excited they can only manage to type “TOO MUCH JOY TO POST COHERENTLY!”, some more dancing gifs, and even a friendly taunt directed at SB Nation’s St. Louis Cardinals blog.
