Lincecum Graces SI Cover

Sports Illustrated may not be the pinnacle of sports journalism it once was, but this is pretty fucking cool. I can't remember the last time a Giant made the cover without being accompanied by an asterisk or a syringe. The lengthy, and extremely dense, article by Tom Verducci, features a detailed breakdown of Lincecum's mechanics, as well as an illuminating discussion of pitching mechanics and injuries. It's certainly worth reading and re-reading. For $70, you can buy a framed copy of the cover here.

It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
