Starting pitcher JC Parsons
In a battle of #5 starters, the doggers prevailed, 8-3, and took the first game of the series. Their lame starting pitcher, Anderson, couldn't get through the fifth but he looked masterful compared to a ridiculously struggling Tim Lincecum. The fallen ace went a feeble 4 innings, allowing 8 hits, 3 walks and was lucky to only give up 4 runs. Nothing he threw seemed to fool the blue goo and they often jumped on his first pitch. It was clearly Tim's weakest start so far, best forgotten, yet I fear that won't happen soon.
