i would agree, but then that opens the whole hornets nest of what should be allowed and what shouldnt. although a guy who gets so amped up that he cant relax before a game he is starting would want to smoke out to level himself off, right? wouldnt that be like reverse performance enhancing, but therefore performance enhancing at the same time?

I wonder if Timmy’s going through his “I’m on my own, I don’t have to follow dad’s rules anymore.” unhealthy living binge?
I always kinda got the feeling that his dad controlled a lot of the aspects of Tim’s life. I have nothing to base this on, it’s just some crazy conclusion I’ve jumped to based on interviews and whatnot.
If this is the case, he will probably soon grow out of it (the partying, junk food, unhealthy habit thing) I hope.

A professional athlete that is not married is supposed to stay home and not enjoy his youth? I might have a problem if he was hungover and vomited on the pitchers mound, but if he is still able to perform at an elite level, who cares what he does. Though I have always had a suspicion that he really didn’t have the flu during the 2008 ASG.

as good as he is, who’s to say he wouldn’t be even better if he wasn’t out partying all night? I’m not saying it’s affected his performance one bit, but who knows for sure? And I don’t care what you say, it IS someone’s business what he does. It’s the business of the team that’s going to be possibly paying him 10 million dollars per year. They have a right to expect their players to be in the best possible physical shape they can be. (insert Bengie Molina joke here) If you don’t think that many players have been traded or released in the past because they enjoyed the night life and partied too much, you would be mistaken.

Baggs on the '08 ASG
As they say, though, the appearance of impropriety can be just as damaging. And in light of today’s news, there will be people who question Lincecum’s drive, desire and work ethic.
They’ll also bring up his mysterious disappearance from the 2008 All-Star Game, when he never made it to Yankee Stadium because of dehydration stemming from flu symptoms.
To that, I can only say this: I’ve looked into it. And yes, I know he had at least a couple of drinks that night. But he also had his father with him and was meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time. From everything I’ve gathered, he wasn’t out late.
I can also tell you, having accompanied the team on the road trip prior to that All-Star break, a respiratory virus had been circulating through the clubhouse. Several guys got knocked down pretty hard because of it. I remember slathering myself in hand sanitizer because I knew I’d have to work my tail off in New York and couldn’t afford to get sick.
If it’s all a smokescreen, it’s well played. But I do believe Lincecum really had the flu that night in New York.

I’m not worried either, because there’s no evidence it has affected his performance in any way, but this IS something for Giants’ management to be concerned about. Not the marijuana, the partying.

I’m concerned for his well-being just like I’d be concerned for any person’s, but in the end, it’s his decision what to do with his body. If his pitching lacks, I’m sure he’ll hear about it from everyone, and I’m pretty sure he’ll care about it.

Eh, if his health takes a turn for the worse or he is “sick” on a more consistent basis, or his performance begins to suffer, then I may worry.
Yay Run-ons.

I'm not sure if this has been cleared up...
But was he sober while speeding? Or was he high?
I’ve only read that it “smelled like marijuana” in his car.. But does that necessarily mean that he was high while driving?

The cop wouldn’t have let him go had he appeared high.

He was speeding.
And his car smelled like marijuana.
That’s reason enough to not let him go.
I just haven’t heard anything definitive on whether he was sober while driving or not… Because to me, that makes a big difference on how I feel he should be punished.
by AmorVincitOmnia on Nov 7, 2009 2:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
And then the fact that he gave no indications of being impaired despite that evidence is reason enough to think he wasn’t high.

I tend to trust two experienced police officers’ judgment.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

He wasn't given a DUI though.
And in one article I read:
“The amount was 3.3 grams, Schatzel said, which is considered only enough for personal use. Lincecum did not appear to be impaired behind the wheel and is not being charged with a felony crime, Schatzel said.”

As he shouldn’t. If they didn’t feel that he was impaired, then by law, he wasn’t.

not yet
Clark County District Court Judge Darvin Zimmerman has ordered Lincecum to appear in a Vancouver, Wash., court on Dec. 22 for an arraignment on charges related to his Oct. 30 traffic stop in the county, when he handed over 3.3 grams of marijuana and a pot pipe.

I must have misread Schulman’s post.
Anyhoo, is getting an autograph from a defendant an impeachable judicial offense?

The regulation of has is a very divisive issue.
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.
