Is Japan ready for Lincecum?
Today the Giants are going to play the Japan team. Tim Lincecum is going to get the start for the Giants. Lincecum isn’t expected to pitch that many innings. The Giants want to ease his workload over the long spring. Lincecum hasn’t given up a run in seven innings so far this spring. Everyone is excited to see Ichiro Suzuki face Tim Lincecum. Tim grew up in Renton Washington so he followed the Mariners growing up and now he’s going to face Ichiro.
MLB 2K9
I finally got a chance to play the game. I only had a few mins so I just did the Home Run Derby. I can’t really say how much I like it or not yet. I still need to play a regular game so I can be Lincecum. lol

Is anyone “ready” for Lincecum? 🙂 I have found MLB 2K9 online to be pretty fun, but I think the more I play the franchise mode, the more I will dislike it.

A sinkerballer like Lincecum is I think an easier matchup for Ichiro but Tim will probably still make him look foolish.

Love the commercial! Good luck to the Giants against Japan!

I can see it now today:
Ohayo gozaimasu, ( Good Morning)
Anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka? ( Do you speak English?)
Watashi no namae wa Tim Linecum. ( My name is Tim Linecum)
The rest would be a blur of vowels and phrases I would not understand without slowing the world down. I think it will be an awesome first day of sales, and be a great barometer to the Japanese taste for our style of baseball.
After those phrases the only one I know by heart is:
Toire wa doko desu ka? ( Where is the Toilet?)

I gotta get that game. I just got an Xbox360 along with MLB Front Offica Manager, and as soon as I finish that I’ll buy 2k9.

Yeah, the Padres are going to play Team Korea today. It will be very interesting to see how our pitching stands up their hitting, and the other way around. Thankfully it’s only an exhibition game though, so it doesn’t really mean anything!

The only thing I know how to say in Japanese is what I used to say to Saito-san or Kuroda-san which is:
Ganbatte kudasai (Keep up the good work!).

I got the game for Wii, so the graphics aren’t as good as the other systems (not the game’s fault). It is suprisingly easy to play. My 4-year old son now prefers 2K9 over MLB Power Pros.

Just wanted you to know I drafted Lincecum and am heavily relying on him to hold up my Fantasy rotation. You should hope your boy doesn’t let me down, I take my managing very seriously. 😛

After watching Jonathan Sanchez pitch last night, I can’t help but think the Giants potentially have the best freakin’ rotation in all of MLB. I love my guys, but I may have pitcher envy.
