I got a feeling Timmah! steps up tonight with a solid start.
Now 90 percent of my handicapping is based on stone cold facts, but I pay attention a little to that little birdie in the back of my head too.
I know all about the fast ball is 90 MPH now and not 95 MPH anymore.
I know all about the nagging injuries of the past.
I know all about the red flags surrounding Lincecum.
Having said all that, I'm hearing Timmah ! physically pretty good right now, and even though he had a rough spring, his off speed stuff is still there.
Right now, this isn't a play, but more of a discussion thread, and could turn into a play.
I don't like Josh Beckett, I don't like his attitude, I think his heart isn't in this and he's just in this now for the monthly paycheck.
I also think Josh is like 2 years + past his prime.
I can't ignore the fact that the Dodger dugout in the past can't touch Timmy.
Yes, I understand some of these numbers were compiled when Timmy was a little healthier, but still.
