Unexpected

Here's the first couple of lines from the Chron's recap:

First inning: 10 pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts.

Fourth inning: 31 pitches, six baserunners, five runs.

Tim Lincecum had one of those topsy-turvy afternoons Saturday at China Basin.

Yeah. The game was awesome for the first 3 innings, and then Timmy sort of... imploded? It was weird. He got 6 strikeouts in those fun 3 innings, but then... yeah. He looked like he was sucker-punched after the back-to-back HR's by Freddy Sanchez and Adam LaRoche. I'm telling you, weirdest thing ever.

I don't have to mention the bullpen implosion (again) or the anemic offense (again), right?

So Zito's pitching tomorrow. I'm calling a sweep. Hopefully it'll be over by the 3rd inning and not one of those 13 inning deaths.
