Look at that! A no hitter by someone other than Homer Bailey!
Tim Lincecum has done a lot in his relatively young career. But now he can add "no hitter" to a resume that includes "2 Cy Young Awards", "World Series clincher" and "best pitcher who looks like he is 10 years old."
Is this a turning point for the Giants?
Who knows?
But what I do know... it is time to update my list!
