Interesting quote from Linceum after the sweep by the Cubs. It's rare to find pitchers who can hit, yet the Giants not only keep finding them, but keep finding their bats. Also notable from the game is the Giants (so-called) offense being led by Lincecum, who had two hits.
The freak show that is the Giants season continues.

Quote To Note:
"It's rare that you find a pitcher who can hit like that. Guys like him and (Cincinnati's Mike Leake, who had three hits against the Giants earlier in the week), you know they can really handle the bat."
—RHP Tim Lincecum on Cubs' LHP Travis Wood, who homered off him in a 2-1 Chicago win on Sunday.'via Blog this'
On June 24th both the Giants and the Rays sported 38-37 records. Since that time the Giants have run off an 8-21 record to face plant into last place in their division, 10 games out of first place. The Rays on the other hand have gone 24-6 to elevate into second place in their division ( the toughest in baseball ) 1/2 game behind the Red Sox.
A tale of two teams headed in distinctively opposite directions. The Giants playoff odds according to coolstandings.com have diminished to a mere 1.0% as of today. The Rays, on the other hand sit at a comfortable 89% chance of making the playoffs.
Feel free to hit the button at any time Giants. It would be the first indication that anyone in the organization gives a R.A. about this season in over a month. Or that anyone has much of a pulse. Or a heart.
