The Giants have decided to keep Tim Lincecum on four days' rest next week to give him two more starts after tonight. Getting a Cy Young Award apparently trumps the hopes of the Giants' franchise going forward. Lincecum should have pitched only once more because of the Giants' off day Monday, but he'll go Tuesday and Sunday. Jonathan Sanchez loses a start as a result. This likely means that Lincecum will finish with the year at 225-230 innings pitched. The Giants shut him down after 177 1/3 innings in 2007.

The future is unpredictable. He could go out and be so terrible he takes himself out of consideration. Winning the Cy Young could propel him into 10 glorious years of prosperity, whereas coming in 2nd or 3rd may doom him to mediocrity. If they both agree to it I say why not. I do hope both of them switched their insurance to Geico.
This just popped into my head - anyone gonna pick up the all time leader in HR's for the stretch run & the playoffs? Anybody?
It's too late, they would have had to pick him up last month for him to play in the playoffs.
