(05-30) 20:46 PDT --And for your holiday afternoon pleasure, the man who has the hardwareto prove he was the National League's top pitcher the past two seasonsfaces the man who has the numbers to prove he has been the planet's toppitcher for the first two months of this season.

At China Basin today, it's the Giants' Tim Lincecum, he of the two Cy Young Awards, meeting Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez, who merely leads the majors in wins (nine), ERA (0.8 and opponents' batting average (.176).

Aaron Rowand said Jimenez's 6-foot-4 frame is one of many reasons for his success.

"He has three different speeds of really electric stuff," Rowand said, "and on top of that, he's effectively wild.

"He'll throw one to the backstop and then paint the next one at 97 at the knees on the inside corner."

Lincecum leads the majors with 80 strikeouts but has walked fivehitters in each of his past three starts. He has not made it to thesixth inning in each of his past two starts, but he's not about tostart panicking.

Said Lincecum: "I'm not saying, 'I know this is going to happen, soI don't care,' but it's one of those things where I can't just let itdrag me down."

As for going against Jimenez?

"I don't really get excited for games usually until I'm in them," Lincecum said. "I'm not too worried about the matchup."

Freddy Sanchez said Jimenez "seems like he's in a league of his own," but the Giants second baseman is looking forward to the challenge.

"You want to go out and see what you can do against him," Sanchez said.

Lincecum and Jimenez have faced each other four times. Lincecum is 1-2 with a 3.08 ERA in those games. Jimenez is 2-1, 2.25.

Hamstrung: Infielder Ryan Rohlinger injured his left hamstring trying to score on an Andres Torressingle in the seventh inning Sunday and had to leave the game. TheGiants probably will put him on the disabled list today, with Matt Downs a likely recall from Triple-A Fresno. ... Reliever Jeremy Affeldthad a rough outing (two runs, three walks - one intentional - inone-third of an inning) in his first appearance since injuring his lefthamstring the previous Sunday in Oakland. Affeldt will be evaluatedbefore today's game.

DeRosa update: Utilityman Mark DeRosa (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Class A San Jose today.

Giants made one roster move: As expected, INF Ryan Rohlinger is on the 15-day disabled list. INF Matt Downs has returned from Triple-A Fresno. Because Downs is replacing an injured position player, the 10-day rule doesn’t apply and he’s eligible to return.

 

[dland24]

[tim lincecum]

[what up]

 Rowand hitting 8th.

Are you #$@@%*% kidding me right now?  Who calls a hit and run in that situation?

 

[dland24]

Why is Pablo ever given the steal sign?

 

[lb510]

 might as well hit him 9th and hit Timmy 8th.

[h3]Rowand sits in series finale vs. D-backs[/h3]
SAN FRANCISCO -- As Giants manager Bruce Bochy hinted the day before, Giants center fielder Aaron Rowand received Sunday off in the team's series finale against Arizona.

Since being activated from the disabled list May 2, Rowand has started each of the Giants' past 25 games.

In that span, the center fielder has struggled -- hitting .202 (21-for-104) -- but Bochy said he was sitting Rowand just to give him a blow.

"He's been out there pretty much every day," Bochy said. "I've got to start resting some of these guys, especially as we start getting into this where we have some long stretches with games. These guys need a break every once in a while."

[what up]

Bochy said he was sitting Rowand just to give him a blow.
Yuck.

 

[chris82790]

Those 2 runs hurt.

 

[chris82790]

Rockies could blow the game open right now

 

[dvdjamm5150]

Timmy got out of that one...I wonder how come he doesn't throw his changeup too much now...

 

[dland24]

Jimenez is 0-2 on every batter and Timmy is 2-0. Come on. Lets GO.

 

[chris82790]

Jimenez is just sending everyone back to the dugout except Sandoval.

The Giants are making him throw pitches but cannot get a sustained rally going.

 

[tim lincecum]

Game over.

 

[chris82790]

What are the odds that the games we have lost on this home stand are games started by Lincecum.

 

[tim lincecum]

Dave Fleming is 34?

Thought he was much younger than that.

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

I don't post here or visit the sports section often, but what is up with Lincecum? walk after walk

and the hats aren't that bad...i might pick one up

EDIT: "Out of sync"...man i wish i can just fast foward to the next start.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Jimenez is untouchable

 

[lb510]

Well Pablo did well...
