Timmy Lincecum Brings The Nuschler
Yes, folks, the San Francisco Giants are National League West Champions, and it's pretty awesome -- here's a fan-edited video of ace Tim Lincecum's response to the generally execrable Amy Gutierrez, asking him, 'Are you ready for your champagne shower?' His response, which was blasted across the stadium on AmyG's microphone?
"FUCK YEAH."
My absolute favorite part of this -- well, okay, it's when Brian Wilson grabs Tim and they yell in each others faces for a moment - but my second most favorite part here is listening to Amy shriek in terror at Tim's potty mouth.
Just awesome all the way around. It is, in some ways, reminiscent of a young William Nuschler Clark, one of my all-time favorite Giants, screaming, "I've been waiting so fucking long for this!" in the locker room after winning the West in 1987. (By the way, that was Clark's second year in the pros, making it even funnier, as well as his high pitched voice which was the icing on the cake.)
As faithful readers of this blog may know, I've been hyper-critical of GM Brian Sabean for years, and I admit that I have some crow to eat. But that crow? It's delicious.
LET'S GO GIANTS! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)
