Tim Lincecum pitched a no hitter Saturday night to highlight the Giants series win over the San Diego Padres. The questions still remain regarding Lincecum. Is he a starter, a reliever or should the Giants trade him? Will he be able to pitch effectively again this year after throwing 148 pitches Saturday? Speaking of not pitching I did not hear one word about Cain. Does he have a bad arm and the Giants aren't talking? We should hear Friday after the All Star game break. The real lesson is don't give long term contracts to players unless you are going to have an unlimited budget like the Yankees and Dodgers.
Do the Giants still have a chance to win the NL West? Yes, but is it reality? Baseball experts feel you need 90 wins at least to win a division. But it can be done with 86. To win 86 games the Giants would have to win 43 of their remaining 68 games playing at .630 clip to accomplish the goal. To keep track draw a poster with numbers 1 to 25 and when the Giants lose a game cross out a number starting with 25 and work backwards.
The Padres tied a major league record by having four different uniforms for a four game series.
