Time to close down Cain for the year

The SF Chron's Henry Schulman notes in his game story that Matt Cain's thrown more pitches than anyone in the majors this year. It's obvious that Bochy's tactic of keeping him out deep in games is starting to backfire. It would be nice if someone in the front office could get it through their head that they're playing with fire here but I'm skeptical that a team that's letting its most valuable asset (Lincecum) go even deeper (132 and 127 pitches recently) will realize that they're engaged in a dangerous exercise that could backfire big time.
