Brennan Boesch vs. Tim Lincecum

I was just looking for stories on Brennan Boesch, because he's awesome, and stumbled upon an article about Boesch's first swing being a double. It was written by, who else, Mario Impemba and one of the quotes in it made me larf. Here:

Playing in the Pac 10 at Cal, Boesch also faced some of the nation's top competition, including Tim Lincecum, who was pitching collegiately at Washington.

"He was nasty as a freshman," Boesch said. "He didn't have the great change-up that he has now, but he was still tough."

Lincecum would go on to earn Pitcher of the Year honors as a freshman in the Pac 10. So how did Boesch fare against the kid they call "The Freak?"

"He threw a two-hitter against us one time and I got both hits," Boesch said.

I don't know if that serves as a precursor to his current quest to become the AL Rookie of the Year (jk), but I thought it was funny. If anyone else has any stories about pitching against Boesch, or hitting against Lincecum in high school or collegiately, please share. ;)

 

Oh, and here's the article. Kinda old though ...  http://www.foxsportsdetroit.com/pages/landing?blockID=223329&tagID=10313

He lives vicariously through himself.

And he once had an awkward moment…just to see how it feels.

To this day

It agonizes me that we took Andrew Miller over Tim Lincecum in 2006.

Not me

Without him, we’d never have Miggy.

Think of the Mariners.

Timmy is a hometown product but they draft Morrow.

Darko didn't get the Pistons anything.

At least Miller helped land Miguel Cabrera.

Sam Bowie would like a word with you.

So would Charmin’

Darko considers Sam Bowie

to be a “fatherly figure” in his life. Not really. But he probably would.

By Charmin' I meant Kwame Brown.

I hit post too fast.

Kwame Brown is a pretty good defender.

which makes him useful in the back end of a playing rotation. Doesn’t make up for his draft position, but than again, he’s not the one who picked him there.

you know...

I knew about kilpatrick but I wasn’t well versed in his legal woes but, holy shit. 10 subsections on wikipedia under “controversies and legal troubles.”

Studies show

that use of his name and the phrase “die in a fire” are highly correlated.
