Here is the opening to my Thursday column about the Giants' future: Don’t expect to see Tim Lincecum in a Giants uniform next season. He has been a favorite in San Francisco — fans love him — but he is almost surely gone, as in out of here. The Giants [...]
Post no-hitter, do you think Tim Lincecum is all the way back? If you were Brian Sabean would you re-sign him for next season with a multi-year contract?
Here is the opening to my Thursday column about Tim Lincecum: SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ... kind of - Please notice the dateline on this column. It says Scottsdale, Ariz. kind of. I’ve been back from Arizona a week now but the scene I’m writing about took place outside the Giants’ clubhouse [...]
Here is the opening to my Saturday column about Tim Lincecum and his new haircut: SAN FRANCISCO Friday. Giants Media Day. Tim Lincecum walks in with a new look. Call it a new head. Those long locks that used to hang down his back like laundry — forget them. Gone. [...]
Here is the opening to my Thursday column about Tim Lincecum, who will pitch Game 4 of the NLCS: ST. LOUIS -- Forget Game 3 of the NLCS, that drawn-out, drenched affair. Just know the Giants lost 3-1 and left a million men on base — 11, actually — and [...]
Here is the opening to my column about Tim Lincecum, relief pitcher: CINCINNATI Tim Lincecum trotted in from the bullpen in the bottom of the fourth. It was still a game then, the Giants up 3-2 although they would win 8-3. This was no cameo appearance, no throwaway role, not [...]
Tim Kawakami did a good interview with Tim Lincecum which I will link to in a moment. We were in the Giants clubhouse in Cincy interviewing Barry Zito and Tim snuck over to Lincecum and got a fabulous one on one. Good for Tim. It was a miracle we were [...]
Here's the problem with Lincecum -- strictly my opinion. 1) You never know what you're going to get with him this season. 2) He has had disaster innings too much of the time. It happens so fast that before Bochy gets a reliever warmed up, it's too late. The Giants [...]
Bruce Bochy announced Ryan Vogelsong will start Game 3 in Cincinnati on Tuesday. What a fall this is for Tim Lincecum, two-time Cy Young Award winner. One line of thinking is Lincecum could rise to the occasion. But clearly the Giants don't think so. Either he or Zito could pitch [...]
Tim Lincecum got the loss today. I know because I listened to the game on radio while driving -- it's amazing how far KNBR reaches. On Comcast on Monday, Barry Tompkins asked Dan Dibley and me if Lincecum is all the way back. Dibley said yes. I said I was [...]
