Revitalized Tim Lincecum Simply Sublime in Game 1 Masterpiece

Filed under: Braves, Giants, MLB Playoffs, National League Division Series

SAN FRANCISCO -- Know what's funny? Tim Lincecum's August. You look back at his 7.82 ERA and all of that public panic over things like pitch-tipping and lost velocity, and you almost can't help but laugh.

Seriously, it seems pretty funny now. When you watch something like what he did on Thursday night, a filthy, two-hit, 14-strikeout shutout in a 1-0 victory over the Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS, you almost can't believe this is the same guy.

Same skinny body and long, floppy black hair. Yep, same guy.

"That's probably the best I've seen this year," said Braves infielder Brooks Conrad.
