Lincecum out of the ASG because of illness?

PrintListening 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.

Holy crap, I hope he’s okay. D:
Didn’t someone say they saw him at the HR Derby though?

Apparently this happened earlier this morning or something? I’m not sure when it actually happened. No one seems to know what’s up.
Okay this isn’t sounding very good at all.

Jeez can’t he just bless a tissue to send over to the ER and heal the sick? The man is busy with things to do. And by things I mean not pitching in the All Star Game.

he has flu like symptoms?
I’m just glad he doesn’t have the flu, that would be bad.
I mean, flu like symptoms, that could be anything. We’re not doctors, we shouldn’t be diagnosing these symptoms.

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.

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.

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.

If nothing else

gossip
Alyssa Milano has sworn off dating baseball players, because they are too childish.
The actress admits she is a huge fan of the sport, and even dreams of being a star slugger.
But, after dating San Francisco Giants pitcher Barry Zito, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny and Atlanta Braves star Tom Glavine, she’s determined to court more mature men, like her current mystery beau, known only as “David.”
Milano says, “They are grown men playing a little boy’s sport. That makes them childish.”

Lincecum likely has the same respiratory ailment that ripped through the Giants on their road trip last week to play the Mets and Cubs. Several players were limited or held out of action, including shortstop Omar Vizquel.

In other pregame news, Wilson said coaches told him to prepare to pitch the eighth inning, possibly sharing it with Mets left-hander Billy Wagner if matchup warrant. Phillies right-hander Brad Lidge was promised the ninth inning, Wilson said.Wilson said he’d relish a setup role.
"I’m looking forward to getting my first hold, maybe,’’ he said, smiling.

Pads manager confirmed he wouldn't pitch anyways. "I think Lincecum had the 15th" Black joked...
Hey Bud,
Even money says that you wouldn’t have wanted Tim at the park because if he threw in the 15th they’d still be playing.
