Tim LincecumBy C. Trent Rosecrans

Tim Lincecum is still sick and it appears to have come at an opportune time for the Giants, as Monday's day off could allow the team to move up its entire rotation and letting Lincecum recover until he'd be needed on Saturday in Cincinnati, MLB.com's Chris Haft reports.

Lincecum was a scratch on Tuesday with flu-like symptoms, resulting in a Barry Zito start (that ended like most Zito starts, with lots of runs on the board) on Tuesday in Philadelphia. 

Matt Cain will pitch Wednesday night in Philadelphia, while Ryan Vogelsong could pitch Thursday and Madison Bumgarner on Friday.

Cain last faced the Phillies in Game 3 of last year's NLCS when he held the team to two hits in seven innings of a 3-0 Giants victory.

Really Kharma??? Halladay over used in the allstar game??? The starter who pitches the allstar game always gets 2 innings...look it up, and shit the dude got sick not nerves not afraid , cause if that was the case he wouldnt have beaten halladay in the postseaon and cliff lee in the world series. And last i checked this game isnt a playoff game or the world series. Love when teams that lose to the champs in the playoffs act this is there world series of the season or payback..

Karma, or paranoia? Pretty sure the Hindu gods aren't Phillies fans. If so, they've got a funny way of showing it.

Karma Baby!  Bochey over uses Halladay and Lee in the All Star game so that they will be forced out of the ortation for the Phils Giants series, while he sits his own two pitchers to set them up to pitch against the big boys...yep, I call that Karma!  Looks like Timmy will need to go home to mommy and eat some chicken noodle soup...
