Lincecum Wins NL Cy Young: In a historically close vote, Lincecum beat out the favored Cardinal pair for his second Cy Young award...in as many tries.

Congrats to Lincecum and all that. Anyone know if a pair of starting pitchers from the same team has gotten a higher vote total than Carp and Waino did this year?

Wainright gets the largest number of first place votes but still loses; weird stuff, this 5-3-1 system. Congrats to Tim, he is a stud starter for years to come.

2002 - Arizona Diamondbacks Randy Johnson (160) and Curt Schilling (90) finished 1st and 2nd in the voting.
2001 - Arizona Diamondbacks Randy Johnson (156) and Curt Schilling (98) finished 1st and 2nd in the voting.

See grum above. But is there another starting pitcher that probably got high after the vote?
