Tim Lincecum for Prez

Even you non-Giants fans out there have probably heard of Tim Lincecum by now, after the Giants' final game of the season on Sunday and his last push for the Cy Young award.

Lincecum (18-5) should win it. I could rattle off stats (finished the season with a 2.62 ERA, MLB leading 265 strikeouts, etc.) but it should be stated that he just dominates hitters. Twelve strikeouts Sunday? Holy %*#!

In other Giants news, who knew our favorite overweight catcher Big Money Bengie Molina had a blog?

It describes the weirdness of his hit off the top of the right field wall Friday night in San Francisco against the Dodgers. The hit was eventually ruled a home run after a 12-minute "instant" replay call. I'm beginning to think this new replay rule, well, sucks.

At least it was ruled a homer, since it hit off the green roofing and LEFT A 3-INCH GREEN MARK ON THE BALL. Did we need TV cameras and slow motion to tell us that? High-Def? Umm, no.

Also, because Bengie Molina originally thought he just got a single and was replaced by pinch runner Manny Burriss at first base, Molina became the first player in major league history to hit a home run that counted--and then have someone else round the bases for him.

When Burriss got back to the dugout, Molina laughed and said to him, "Nice swing."

Around my house this weekend, my new friend and neighbor Snowflake (the yellow lab) took me to meet his next door neighbor, a black lab whose name I forget. They also have 2 horses. It was dusk, and I got a little lost on the hillside, and then the owner of the black lab grabbed me by the collar and called the phone numbers on my dog tag because she thought I was lost. I was just cruising around...

Then Stephen came to pick me up, wearing sandals on the mountain trail. They all talked and introduced each other. I just wanted everybody to know each other, that's why I wondered off. Yeah, that's it. Also, horse food tastes fucking delicious. And those never-ending troughs of water--MMMMmmm. I just want to jump in. And then shake.

(Yawn),
