Time is sometimes spent in this space criticizing the work of those in the mainstream media, be it Kevin Kernan , John Harper or Marty Noble . Maybe not as much time is spent praising the strong work. Ken Davidoff is a national baseball writer at Newsday and is one of the few in the mainstream who embraces sabermetrics. For him, and most others who are saber-inclined, it's less about breaking the game...

In case you hadn't heard, and I hadn't due to being at an off-site today, Tim Lincecum repeated as NL Cy Young winner, in one of the closer votes ever. It was so close that Adam Wainwright had more first place votes, but finished third overall. Chris Carpenter finished second. 10 points separated the three hurlers. As can be expected, some Cardinal writers are incensed by this result, and that's fine....

Tim Lincecum repeated as winner of the Cy Young for the senior circuit, while Zack Grienke took home the honors for the AL. There's no argument from me about the results in either case, but it is bizarre that Lincecum got fewer first-place votes than Adam Wainwright. Anyway, that's two...
