PrintIf the Giants each had to play a role in the godfather universe, they would do so in the following manner: Lincecum would be Michael, Cain would be Sonny, Eugenio would be Fredo and Zito would be Sofia Coppola.

It’s not that someone hasn’t seen the Godfather, it’s the fact that you haven’t seen it. It’s more of a reflection of our positive opinion of you.

It greatly saddens me that I will not be able to see Lincecum pitch in person this year.
All the games I’ve been to the last two years the pitcher has been either Cain or Sanchez. Which is a nice consolation prize, but still.

Sounds like people are starting to come around to the idea of Lincecum winning. Which is nice. It’d be good if he got to 18-19 wins though.

Something like victory boost
basically, you get points if your team is in contention.
