Lincecum, what can you say that has not already been said...13 K’s for a career with 111 pitches and no walks. He also leads the league with 156 K for the season. Can you say Cy Young?
The trade deadline is looming. Giants are willing to make a deal for the right price. Bengie Molina certainly raised his value in todays game with his two incredible defensive plays at home plate for outs. Talking about increasing trade value it was good to see that Omar was making contact again with the bat.
The growing pains of youth. Bowker made one great defensive play saving a run, to Molina but also made three big mistakes...one cost a run in the fifth. He picked his foot off the bag to early from a bare handed catch and through from Vazquel. In his defense the call could have gone either way. The other was an error that was picked up by Lincecum striking out the side, leaving the runner at second in the sixth. The last one was a miscue in the eight that hurt the most, as Arizona took Walker to town. Walker lasted only 1/3 of the inning and was hit upon for 3 runs in 18 pitches. He also gets the loss.
To add insult to injury...Dodgers are winning 6-0.

Maybe someone who needs to be taken out of close games to protect his tender little arm is not yet worthy of the Cy Young. As much as I love the boy, last night the winner was Webb, in both the game and the Cy Young race.
