Tim Lincecum Is Back!

We got the numbers, yeah, we got the might.  We got the strength and we got the right.  We got the reason, yeah, we got the night.  So wake up the sleeping Giant.  -Twisted Sister

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Remember the Freak started the season at 1-1 after four starts?  Remember the Freak started the season at 0-1 with a 7.56 ERA and couldn’t make it out of the sixth inning after two starts?  Remember, walking in the sand.  Remember, walking hand in hand.  Well sports fans, you can forget about all that now.  Nothing to be upset about all that now.  Tim Lincecum in once again a threat about all that now.  Aaahh Freak out!  Le Freak, c’est chic.  Freak out!   

Last night, Tim Lincecum pitched eight shutout innings.   Last night, Tim Lincecum earned the victory in the Giants’ 4-0 win over the Braves.  Hooray Tim Lincecum!  Big deal you say?  Who cares you say?  I say Lincecum has now improved his career record to 29-11.  I say the last pitcher to win as many as twenty-nine of his first forty decisions for the Giants was Sal Maglie.  That’s Sal the Barber to you.  Sal the Barber, whose first forty decisions for the New York Giants spanned a four-year stint in the Mexican League after he posted a 5-4 mark as a rookie in 1945.

We all knew this kid was gonna be good.  We all knew he had a blazing fastball.  An amazing fastball. A Rutherford B Hayesing fastball.  We also knew he had a knee buckling, mind bending, world beating Uncle Charlie too.  But we knew that about Todd Van Poppel.  We knew that about Brien Taylor.  We knew that about B.J. Wallace.  Heck, we knew that about a lot of folks.  This kid is different. 

This kid is the real deal.  He is not only one of the best young pitchers in baseball; he is one of the best pitchers in baseball period.  He’s second in all of baseball and leads the National League in K’s.  Once named the top pitching prospect in the Giants organization.  Now, Tim Lincecum is named the Franchise.  Sharp cheddar, his rhymes are better.  Lincecum’s two-seam cheese has been clocked over 100 mph.  On average it’s clocked at 94.2 mph.  Only Josh Beckett, and King Felix throw harder.  How about that? 

How about this?  His curveball is disgusting.  A curve ball’s what my pitch is.  So here I here I come like dum ditty dum.  I keep all five boroughs in stitches.  Keeping all five boroughs in stitches even more so now that he has found out how to control it.  Bengie Molina says, “He’s going to be a superstar for a long time.”  Bengie Molina is right. 

Public Spectacle:

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
