The ace’s recent rumblings that he’s not interested in signing a long-term deal with the runs-anemic Giants gets an “Amen” from CSNBayArea.com’s Mychael Urban. For Lincecum, who finished 13-14 after Sunday’s 5-2 loss that completed a three-game sweep of the Giants by the Diamondbacks, it was the first losing season of his career. Says Urban:
The man threw more than 200 innings, struck out more than 220 hitters and posted a 2.74 ERA. That's a career year for most pitchers.

Ten times the Giants didn't score behind him. Three runs was an explosion. The lack of run support he received was ridiculous.
