X-rays taken at a hospital near Minute Maid Park revealed no fracture, and Lincecum was said to be walking freely upon returning to the stadium late in the game.<BR/><BR/>The lad now leads the NL in ERA, as well as strikeouts. Assuming this injury isn't a setback, he is indeed a valid Cy Young contender.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598578292252263393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-63606961251000069452008-08-12T19:38:00.000-07:002008-08-12T19:38:00.000-07:00Word is Tim was taken from the ballpark to get X-r...Word is Tim was taken from the ballpark to get X-rays on his knee (that's where the ball hit him).<BR/><BR/>Let' shope they are merely "precautionary."M.C.
