Great Article on the Pitching Staff

He makes some good points, including::
Tim Lincecum = good pitcher and he won a Cy Young last year.
Matt Cain = spectacular pitcher with 10 wins.
Randy Johnson = strikes fear.
Barry Zito = Throws long and hard, stable and steady AS EVER with prolonged steadiness ahead.
Jonathan Sanchez = pitches no-hitters.
Oh and sorry, Barry Zito also = Super Star.

ALL OF THIS = Greatest Pitching Staff EVAR.

Tim named cover athlete of MLB 2K9

New York, NY – November 11, 2008 – 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today that National League Cy Young Award winner, Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, will be featured as the cover athlete and spokesman for next year's highly anticipated baseball video game, Major League Baseball® 2K9. Lincecum led Major League Baseball with 265 strikeouts during the 2008 season and set a new team record in the process. He has quickly become a fan favorite and established himself as one of the most thrilling young pitchers to watch in baseball today.

"Winning the Cy Young Award is truly an amazing honor, and now having the opportunity to be on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K9 is another dream come true and an absolutely surreal experience," said Tim Lincecum, MLB All-Star pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. "Whenever I’m hanging out at home or traveling on the road, you can find me playing video games, and I’m definitely the best gamer in the clubhouse by far. I’m incredibly stoked that 2K Sports picked me to represent Major League Baseball 2K9, and I look forward to lending my baseball knowledge to the development process."

...

"Tim is a special player and has the best stuff in baseball. We couldn’t have selected a more naturally talented and exciting player to represent Major League Baseball 2K9 next season, and given that he’s an avid gamer, it will be a lot of fun working together," said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development for 2K. "Visual Concepts has taken over the development of our Major League Baseball title, and we look forward to continuing to provide fans with the most authentic and high quality gameplay experience that we bring to all of our sports titles."

MLB 2K8 came with a Jose Reyes bobblehead for those who pre-ordered, so I'm hoping they'll release a Lincecum bobblehead for 2K9.

Another background i've made, the Warriors "We Believe" Background I made last year, but Warriors.com recently took it down because Baron Davis was basically the center of it.
