Re-Phenom
Dr. X posts this from an All-Star party in South Beach:
"I stopped writing about Tim Lincecum because he fell apart in June, after three great starts in May. It's not clear what happened. He suddenly started walking people, and bad things happen when you do that. From May 29th to June 19th, he started five games, and the Giants lost five games. Since Giants manager Bruce Bochy seemed to be ignoring pitch counts, I was just assuming Lincecum had already gotten hurt and his career was over.
"No so fast. In his last two starts he seems to have gotten his control back. In both games he went seven innings, and in both games he gave up no earned runs. On July 1, vs. Arizona, he struck out 12 and walked none (game-by-game stats).
"He's had various nicknames, but his Giants teammates have settled on 'The Franchise'.
"No pressure, kid."

Yes, but I know almost nothing about baseball.
Jane: I've heard police work is dangerous.
Drebin: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.
Jane: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidently?
Drebin: I used to have that problem.
Jane: What did you do about it?
Drebin: I just think about baseball.
Sorry - distracted by the Mariners clearing the bench to beat the tar out of the As.
