tim lincecum Stories - Lone Star Ball
Game Recap
Quick jottings: When Pablo Sandoval took a walk in the 7th-inning, you could almost hear his internal monologue. It was like the Far Side cartoon with a guy holding one cymbal and muttering "Don't screw up. Don't screw up. Don't screw up." Hey, if it makes pitchers throw him strikes, I'm all...
Early Worries
Almost three years ago to the day, I wrote up early season Worry Power Rankings. It's kind of funny to revisit them now -- half of the players on there had already passed "worry" on their way to "decay", and it's funny to think that there was a point when some of us were wondering if Barry Bonds...
Ten Reasons Why I'm Not Worried About Lincecum

Community Projection: Tim Lincecum
Things I learned from watching yesterday's game: Travis Ishikawa isn't going to hit 324 home runs this year. That's absurd. But cutting that prediction down by 50% -- 162 home runs -- is very reasonable. I, for one, am looking forward to the new, clean home run champ. Stand up and clap, Selig!...
Thanksgiving
Let’s see. Is there something that Giants fans should be thankful for? Something that did or didn’t happen? Something major that would have changed life as we know it, perhaps ripping open the fabric of space and time? Hmm. Can’t think of anything off the top of my head…. ...
