Giants well know Kershaw belongs on the awards list

Clayton Kershaw was fortunate to face Giants hitters six times and nothave to rely on them for run support. Tim Lincecum has every right to be jealous, butthe schedule is the schedule and Kershaw - the choice in thiscorner for the National League Cy Young Award - took advantage ofit by going 5-0 with a 1.07 ERA against the Giants . Kershaw's season isn't any less momentous because a quarter ofhis victories are against the Giants . Several opponents werehelpless, including the first-place Diamondbacks, against whom hewent 3-1 with a 1.42 ERA. Other victimized teams: Padres 2-0, 1.50 ERA, Mets 2-0, 0.61,Astros 1-0, 1.29, two starts. He faced the Tigers once and shutthem out. In his lone start against Milwaukee, he tossed eightscoreless innings. He also blanked the Marlins.
