Lincecum OK, ready to go

After taking a line drive off his knee in his latest start, Tim Lincecum insists he'll make his next one.

Though his manager and teammates seemed thrilled the injury wasn't more serious, Lincecum said he never thought he sustained a fracture. He left the field upset because he couldn't pitch anymore. The 41/3-inning stint was his shortest start of the season.

"It's like hitting the funny bone," Lincecum said. "All your nerves go stupid. When I tried to step on it, it was a step on a non-existent leg."

The young pitching phenom has proved remarkably durable in his short career despite wild pitching mechanics. Now he's bouncing back from what was a scary injury. Start him in all leagues.
