Off topic-- Lincecum

This story should generate a lot buzz. I guess we will have to wait until the smoke has cleared to find out what will happen.

"wait until the smoke has cleared"

Cute. Other than the fact that it was 8:20 in the morning, I think the story will die out soon.

You mean he wasn't pulled over at 4:20 in the afternoon?

You're on fire today, Mookie (burning up the joint, in fact). Your last name isn't Blaylock, is it?

I thought this was a non-issue really. The cop states he wasn't impaired, and ultimately was released at the scene. This is a non-story by spring training.

Actually, him getting a haircut would create more of a "buzz".

Pitchers have a lot of days with nothing to do. But, unless "wake and bake" is something he does 4 out of 5 days during the regular season, it looks like a non-story.

And, he was an athlete driving in the state of Washington. I thought they all drove around with pot in the car.

He is arbitration eligible. Do the Giants bring this up in the negotiations this off season? Will it cost him there?

Hopefully this story doesn't mushroom into something larger.

(Sorry)

I don't think that the Giants will play hard ball...this guy is a keeper and a potential Cy Young award winner every year for another 12-15 years unless he gets hurt..not a chance that they might jeopardize signing him.
And right now, he has good vibes about the Giants...bringing this up during arbitration might sour him on the organization.

How's about a rim shot for Mookie76?

You do not nor do I want those Damn Yankees swooping in years from now offering a 5-7 year oontract worth $125-175 million if he keeps racking up these kinds of seasons.

Once his contract is up, there is no way the Giants current management would pony up what he deserves. The Giants refuse to pay for the elite players, but will pay $120m for Barry Zito, $ 9m a year for Renteria and $ 60m to our No. 8 hitter Aaron Rowand. Not to mention paying Dave Roberts $ 8m for what was basically a half season of mediocrity (due to very predictable injury).

Sabean is famous for overpaying 35 year old middle relievers, 4th outfielders on the downside of their career and middle infielders who end up pinch hitting 20 games.

I still dont know how Sabean got an extension.
