My VERY favorite baseball player!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Hopefully I won't be having to read stuff about how he's just a number 5 or he melts under pressure or he is too emotional or some such nonsense. OR that he owes his success to Cecil Cooper (yes, I have heard that nonsense, too...)
Yes, he had an icky 3 weeks between May 25 and June 16, but he straightened himself out...

The scary part about Tim Lincecum’s performance Saturday was the fact he didn’t have his ace stuff.
Yes, Lincecum made the Phillies look silly, but we pelted him for seven hits. We had runners on base.
But when the pressure mounted, “The Beast” reared its ugly head.
The sad part is, Joe Blanton pitched a hell of a [...]

There are four Featured Columnists for the San Francisco Giants—Evan Aczon, Kevin O'Brien, Danny Penza, and me. If you ask any of the three other gentlemen, I'm sure they'd tell you the same thing: We've got it easy.
As FCs, we're supposed to write three articles per week about our beloved squad and, if you look around, that's easier said than...

When Tim Lincecum won the National League Cy Young Award last year, not a lot of people could think that the man they call The Franchise could get much better than he was.
Heck, you weren't going out a limb when you thought that a guy who went 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and struck out 265 could get much better. Not many people thought that Lincecum could do much for an encore in his...

On another beautiful day at AT&T Park in San Francisco, which is practically a given, there was a buzz around the ballpark that could be felt through the TV screen.
