The Franchise is back
That's my best take from last night's disaster in San Diego. Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury-News reports at the top of his postgame notes that Tim Lincecum's pitches were in the mid-90s, dispelling some of the worries that the team's best player might be feeling the impact of Bruce Bochy's insane overuse during the 2008 season -- when Tim threw more pitches than anyone in baseball while the team racked up a 71-91 record.
You can't accuse Baggarly of sugar-coating the situation. Here are his first two paragraphs -- Yikes. This is not the time for sunny optimism or aw-shucks-it’s-just-one-series-ism. The Giants are bad, trending toward hellishly bad. But there was one comforting sight for Giants fans in the 3-2 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
Chris Haft reports at Haft-Baked Ideas that Tim won't be relieving during the Friday-Sunday Seattle series, no matter how much Seattle fans would like that.
