Lincecum out of the ASG because of illness?

Deerwtfxh9_tiny by xanthan on

Listening to KNBR at work and they just reported that Lincecum was taken out of his hotel room on a stretcher because of flu-like symptoms. He also apparently didn't take part in the red carpet walk where the all the athletes walk the carpet.

Has anyone else heard this? If so, that sucks, he was one of the few reasons I had to watch the ASG.

Get better, Tim! And I hope it's nothing serious.

Apparently this happened earlier this morning or something? I’m not sure when it actually happened. No one seems to know what’s up.

UPDATE: USA Today diagnoses these symptoms as the flu

I guess the USA Today found a doctor to examine the symptoms and he is prepared to make a diagnosis:

It’s not the first time he has come down with flu-like symptoms, and in this case the flu. Apparently it was going around Chicago and plane flights do not make things better. All of you, who fly with any regularity know this to be true. I usually come down with sniffles at the minimum when I fly.

My own sickness

My own sniffles and sore throats are never isolated. They explode into sinus infections or once, acute bronchitis. Boy was that fun.

From Andrew Baggarly's blog
UPDATE: Brian Wilson confirms Lincecum missed the All-Star parade because he was sick, and he won’t pitch tonight. He doubted that he needed to be carried out on a stretcher, though. "I think I would have heard about that," he said.

Also, Wilson was told he’ll likely get the eight inning tonight, possibly splitting it with Mets lefty Billy Wagner if matchups demand it. The ninth belongs to the Phillies’ Brad Lidge.

I think the adrenaline will make it similiar to a save situation for Brian. I’m betting he hits 100 on the gun tonight. Whether it’s a strike is another question.

by AngelWillSaveUs on Jul 15, 2008 3:08 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think it was Mychael Urban on KNBR this morning that said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Wilson hit 102 on the gun tonight – due to the adrenaline.

And allow six hits in his inning. Way to go Bri!

not sure why the 9th inning “belongs to Brad LIdge” (as if he is Mariano Part 2). I’d think Billy Wagner would have more ownership with this game being in NYC, esp. if the NL has a lead.
