1. Asked if he can tell the difference between a regular baseball and a humidor ball, Lincecum said no.
Asked if he can tell the difference between a regular baseball and a humidor ball, Lincecum said, "No, I don't know. Sometimes I get a ball that feels a little softer than others. I don't know if it's been in the humidor or not."

5. Thank God the ballboy finally got it right!
All this fuss was started by the overweight boring GiAnts TV announcer last month. Now Lincecum picks it up. Not only does he look like he twelve years old, he acts like it too. Boo hoo hoo, GiAnts. :cry:

6. Big deal..
you're still out of the playoffs, while the Giants hopes are as alive as ever..Also, MLB has sided with the Giants when it comes to the humidor, or they wouldn't be instituting new procedures to monitor the process.

More from Lincecum:

Q: Do you think the Rockies were cheating?

A: It’s just one of those things that’s in the back of your mind.
If it’s happening or not, it doesn’t really matter. You’ve still gotta show up. But in a crucial game like that, I don’t want for any reason to … You err on the side of caution, I guess you could say, in my mind. Just give him the ball back and get a fresh one. I got three or four balls where I thought that … I mean, not necessarily juiced, but they didn’t feel as rubbed down or like the other balls I’d gotten back.]/b]
