A Good Weekend

Whooping up on Brad Penny was by far the highlight of the weekend series, but the continued "success" against Tim Lincecum was nothing short of satisfactory. In Lincecum's four starts against the Dodgers this season he has posted a 1-1 record, with a 4.64 ERA. While the Dodgers are 1-3 on the season in games started by Timmy, it's important to realize that those three loses haven't come solely at the hands of the hurler. Of the four games he's pitched against the Dodgers this season, Lincecum has left the game with the lead only once. When forced to see the best pitcher in the NL four times a year, those are stats you'd blindly take every time before the season even begins.

A confidence builder? Some seem to think so.
