08:23 AM ET 07.04 | On Tuesday in Washington, the Giants fell to 4-13 Tim Lincecum's starts, this one after Lincecum gave up eight runs in just over three innings. Surely Freak-watchers will say he took a "step back" after two good starts, but Lincecum is trying excise those words from his lexicon. "I think that's where I've been wrong, looking at all the negatives, whether it was a step forward or a step back as opposed to 'Where can I go from here?' " he said. "Obviously it was a bad outing, but the next outing has nothing to do with today. It's about getting better the next four days." Lincecum's best hope is a cooling trend. He confessed after his first hot-weather start of the season that the 94-degree heat "got the better of me."

The Freak has been putting up some ugly numbers so far this season.

Everybody should be well-done after the games on the East Coast the last week or so.

Wait wait wait... he put together 2 good starts and everyone said he "was back." Now he's lost again?

If all the Giants starters could pitch all their games at home the Cy Young winner would stay in the Bay area every year.

I don't know if you can stick a fork in him, but he's got one more year to prove himself or you can stick a fork in that fat contract he thought was in the bank.
