Oh yes, we've got trouble. And that starts with T, and that rhymes with P and that stands for Jesus Christ What in the Fucking Hell is Wrong with Lincecum?

Lincecum: 5.2ip 6h 6er 5k 4bb 6.41era
Johnson: 5ip 9h 3er 1bb 3k 4.87era


In the NL West: Sketchy at this point; CO beat CIN, SD lost to NYM, MIL pounding AZ 6-1 in the 8th; LAD down 3-0 to HOU in the 8th. If all holds up, Giants in second, still 6.5 back of damn Dodgers.


Comments: Holy smokeballs, Batman, Timmy is terrible! What the heck is going on here? Even the real seasoned bloggers are starting to get worried. Something kwazy is going on here. If you're a Giants fan, we have $60 million  in three starting pitchers right now; two of whom are automatic losses and one is very shaky. Trubble-some. Credit to the offense again, same as the last game in Milwaukee Wednesday, for battling like mofos to get back into the game and almost pull off a win despite horrific pitching. Can you imagine a world where the SF offense is pretty much fixed, with 14 hits and 6 runs, but Timnmy von Lince-spliff cannot pull off a win? I guess it's getting boring to wonder if he'll ever be himself, maybe this IS himself. How wonderful this would be; two of "our" $20 million pitchers are guaranteed losers every time and one is shaky.


Pitching: Bullpen was absolutely fine; again giving G's a chance to come back after the starter gave it all away.


Defense: Costly errors by Loux and Theriot, one PB by Posey.


Offense: Way more hits and runs than they should have needed; Blanco and Aris with 2Bs, Cabrera with a 3B, HR by Cabrera; 2/11 RISP and 6 LOB.


Baseball Quote of the Day: "You can't tell me the Babe was any better than this guy. You can't tell me this guy isn't the best player in the history of the game." (Florida Marlins manager Jack McKeon on Barry Bonds)
