Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum is the rare pitcher who never ices his arm after a start. Never. Surely, though, after throwing a career-high 148 pitches during the course of his Saturday no-hitter against the Padres, Lincecum would relent and apply so ice to his throbbing wing, right?

Well, here's CSN Bay Area's Andrew Baggarly with the answer ...

Mr. Lincecum made no fewer than two statements of fact within this quote. I believe him about exactly one of them.
