As the resident Tim Lincecum freak here at RCM, I have taken it upon myself to regularly spew forth about The Enchanter. After all, don't Tim and Matt kind of go together. The Giants front office must think so...they were perfectly paired at Saturday's FanFest. So, any complete discussion of Mr. Cain really must include Mr. Lincecum. Hopefully this will be my duty for years to come.
And yes, this was a homework assignment. Do I get extra credit for being the first one turned in?
LINC LINKS
I figured a good start would be a few fun filled sites designed to inform:
general info with lots more links:

a excellent video break down of his motion:

here's some stuff from FanFest '08 (Matt has some great quotes...Tim has another out pitch??)

and, finally, this one I find quite inspiring:

That's a good boy, JCP, definitely extra credit. Watching The Linkster's motion is like looking at Mt. Shasta: awe-inspiring. And you never get enough of it.
And it is RMC, pal.
Just can't stop myself . . .
Our boy generates a lot of interest. Can you believe our bonehead GM actually considered trading him? Check out the latest discussion: Not a Rookie
