Winning is not the whole point?  Did you even watch a single game that Wainiwright pitched?

I would have to say that when it comes to the Cy Young winning is not the whole point. The spirit of the award is to give it to the most dominant pitcher regardless of wins, (see Zach Grienke).  For example voters would more like vote for a guy who had 16 wins, but an era of 2.5 then the would for a guy with 21 wins and an era of 3.5.

With that said, I still think its horseshit that neither Cards pitcher won over Lincecum.

^ Cardinal Nation thanks you for your support.  We still get upset over the whole Bonds over Pujols for MVP stuff.

Can someone explain why this drags on so long? Announce the winners and get it over with.

Albert Pujols is the NL MVP. Smiley

I think Lincecum should've won because he pitched more innings and was less reliant on his defense due to his high strikeout total. That being said, if Carpenter won, it wouldn't have been a bad choice either. Arguments can be made for both guys.

Pujols and Mauer were the right decisions. The voters pretty much nailed it this year, with the exception of Gold Gloves, but I think the managers decide that shit anyways.

^ The Cardinals coaches teach their pitchers to pitch to contact to keep the pitch count down and increase the number of innings they can pitch.  Strikeouts are over rated.

Strikeouts can very well be overrated at times. I mean, Justin Verlander had more K's than Greinke, but their ERA's were far apart. However, if most things are equal, I lean towards the pitcher with more K's because it's all on him. If you have a great defense, it can skew the real impact you have. To be fair, so can a shitty defense.
