    .......................................1st....2nd..3rd....Total
    Tim Lincecum, SF........ 11.... 12......9.......100
    Chris Carpenter, STL.... 9...... 14......7........94
    Adam Wainwright, STL 12.......5.....15........90
    Javier Vazquez, ATL................1...................3
    Dan Haren, ARI................................1...........1

    Rarely do you receive the most first place votes and end up 3rd in any voting.

    Who the hell voted for Vazquez and Haren? Both writers dissed Carpenter and didn't include him in their top 3. A travesty.

    The writers love strikeouts more than W-L.

    Edit: It was the 2nd closest voting ever to Bedrosian winning over Sutcliffe and Reuschel in 87.
