Who’s this Tim Lincecum? He seems pretty good.

I’m glad we won’t have to face Maddux in a Padres series anymore. Too bad he’s still in the division. Why can’t he ever be traded to an AL team?

The main concern is that this will give people more reason to suggest such future third basemen as Nate Schierholtz, Randy Winn, Travis Ishikawa, and Pat Burrell.

It could have the opposite effect. I can’t find the exact quote, but I remember Doug Mirabelli saying something to the effect of “one of the worst things that can happen to a marginally talented player is overexposure”.
If Pablo humiliates himself, then it may quiet those outlandish suggestions for other players to do something similar.

In defense to Doug, he was referring to a recent hot streak that was resulting in an increase in his playing time. It was a pretty humble statement.

In other Cub news, Carlos Zambrano is losing his teeth
Carlos Zambrano broke a molar in half chewing gum during his appearance on Thursday.
Trainers came out to the mound after seeing him grimace in pain, and he proceeded to spit out half a tooth. “It’s the gum,” Zambrano said. “It has a lot of sugar, and I keep telling my daughter not to eat a lot of gum. I’m not a good example.” The injury won’t affect his next start.

Well, at that point it would make sense. Let’s assume we are talking 2010 for that kind rotation. Cain would be our most expensive, and our second oldest starter. Considering that Jonathan Sanchez and Henry Sosa aren’t even included in the scenario above, I think we would have the depth at that point.

Interesting thing on Baek
Padres pitcher Baek was Korean but he changed his nationality to United States. Because when he came to United Stated, he was being wrong against KBO (Korea Baseball Organization)’s rule, then dismissal from membership.
Dismissal from KBO, in South Korea, means you have no chance to play in Olympic or WBC things. If that, you have no chance to immunity from military service in South Korea.
So, if he didn’t want to change his nationality, he should came back to South Korea and being military service for 2 years but he didn’t. So… He made decision.
That’s why some Korea baseball fans don’t like him.
Giants the never sunset.

We’re also kicking around ideas for Seder in the spring. I cannot wait for that.

I don’t agree. Obama doesn’t win if the focus is on international affairs, so he shouldn’t draw attention to it.

Well, those are the younglings. As they age, the blood gets darker and bluer.

Ahh, the slaughter of Dodger younglings. Nothing makes me happier. It’s science too, you can’t spell slaughter without laughter.

Too bad
the sports writers are all over Webb for MVP. Lincecum has had an amazing season.

I discussed this with Marcello the other day at the San Jose game:
Lincecum not winning the Cy Young will likely keep his arbitration price lower for the next few years.
I know that’s a cynical way to look at it, and I am not rooting against him, but it is something to keep in mind as a silver lining.

I guess...
It would be nice to see some reward for him pitching for such a “normally” weak offense.

Yup. It hurts, but since we know it’s going to happen anyways we might as well find the good spin on it.

still contend that an important factor voters wills overlook:
Tim Lincecum never got to pitch against the Giants.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Bad: I missed the 5-run inning
Worse: I missed it to help drain my 2-year old’s abscesses. Shudder.
