You forgot the stat about the team that's in the playoff race because of the pitcher's performance.
Just kidding, we've been through this. Lincecum will have plenty of chances at the award. And I think it would be great to see a multiple winner of the award who isn't a Maddux/Clemens/Johnson type of guy. It would kind of set a precedent.
And yes, I concede the Cardinals season. And Albert's MVP, because they're going to give it to someone else.
I'm glad to see you've given up on your delusions about the Cardinals, but I wouldn't give up on Pujols. He's getting the publicity right now.
As for the stat, I actually thought about putting it in, but my morals wouldn't let me. ;)
Honestly, as I've said before, I wouldn't mind if either won it.
