Lincecum Goes Into Stretch, Gets Same Results

With every start, it seems as though Tim Lincecum warrants a "We love this kid" post. A week after getting bruised in Houston, the Franchise was in fine form again in Atlanta. True to form, he did something quirky. In the sixth, Lincecum switched to pitching exclusively from the stretch, even though there was no one on base.

I didn't have a rhythm on the mound. I had to make an adjustment. I was more comfortable going to the stretch. It helped me out.

Seriously, whatever works. At this point, Lincecum can do no wrong, and we are not hearing any more murmurs of the "cover boy curse."

We know Brandon Webb has 18 wins, but we're still hoping our boy gets some Cy Young consideration.

Oh, and Brian Wilson has 24 consecutive saves - worth mentioning because we love Wilson almost as much as we love Lincecum.
