Haha! I believe the "wriggly carrot" you are referring to is actually an italian horn. I'm half italian and wore one as a kid. Glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better though!
Lincecum was definitely not at the top of his game today, but anytime we can get the NL CY out after 3 innings I'm not going to complain. Thats a lot of bullpen work and I think we will get to them before long
How good did Rickie look on that AB?! Nice and quiet in the box (for him anyhow) and taking a hard fastball on the outter half and just spanking it the other way. LOVE IT!
