KNBR REPORTS LINCECUM BUSTED FOR SPEEDING AND BAG OF POT (WITH PIPE OF COURSE)

nice!

Timmy found with pot???

Based on appearances, that's about as shocking as finding Bengie Molina with a bag of cheeseburgers.

Nobody under 45 years old cares about people smoking weed.

But since baseball has no policy against it, can he get suspended??

This story makes me like him even more. TIMMAH MY HERO.

Good question, I am not sure how they handle off-season issues like that.

His bigger problem is how Washington State treats it.
(I don't know their laws as compared to California's laws regarding possession of less than an ounce)
And if he admitted to, or was proved to be stoned while driving, That's A DUI, same as drinking. And that will sukkk for him, especially if he has to go to classes for it, etc.

And yeah, I knew that no good long hair was a criminal!

8O)

Wonder if he has ever burned before a game in the Majors?

Doesn't sound like anything major. Geovany Soto wasn't punished for testing positive for marijuana.

Didn't he buy that Mercedes from Roberts?

If so, He should have blamed Roberts!

Pot found in star pitcher's car during I-5 speed stop

Tim Lincecum, star pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, is facing charges of misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia use after being stopped for speeding on I-5 last week.

At 8:23 a.m. Oct. 30, Washington State Patrol trooper and spokesman Steve Schatzel said, a motorcycle trooper working with a laser device timed a 2006 Mercedes Benz doing 74 mph northbound in Hazel Dell near Northeast 78th Street — where the speed limit is 60 mph.

The trooper pulled the Mercedes over. When the driver, Lincecum, rolled down his window, the trooper smelled marijuana. He asked Lincecum to hand it over, and Lincecum reached into his dashboard console and produced a small pouch and a pipe, Schatzel said.

The amount was 3.3 grams, Schatzel said, which is considered only enough for personal use. Lincecum did not appear to be impaired behind the wheel and is not being charged with a felony crime, Schatzel said.

"Not unless there's something else going on," Schatzel said. "With this amount of marijuana, that's normally the way we deal with it."

He said 3.3 grams is about the size of a human thumb.

Lincecum "was cited and released," Schatzel said. The speeding citation was for $122. He is expected to be arraigned on Nov. 23 in Clark County District Court.

Schatzel said the motorcycle officer was joined by another officer in a marked patrol car; one didn't know who Lincecum was but the other recognized the name of the 2008 National League Cy Young Award winner.

He said the troopers didn't do anything that wasn't routine.

Lincecum, 25, is a native of Bellevue. He attended Liberty High School in Renton, where was the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Washington. He later starred for the University of Washington, winning in the Golden Spikes award in 2006 as the nation's top amateur baseball player.
He was selected as the 10th overall player in the 2006 MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants. He won the 2008 National League Cy Young Award after going 18-5 with a 2.62 earned-run average and 265 strikeouts.
He is again among the leading contenders for the 2009 Cy Young Award after going 15-7 with a 2.47 ERA and 261 strikeouts. He was the starting pitcher for the National League in the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis. Last month, he was selected the National League pitcher of the year by The Sporting News for a second consecutive season.
Lincecum signed for a $2.025 million signing bonus with the Giants in 2006. He is arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason, and he is expected to earn a pay raise to more than $10 million for 2010.

This shouldn't even be an issue. Make weed legal and tax the h*ll out of it -- it will still probably end up being cheaper than it is now. Pot growers need a lobby like the alcohol manufacturers have.

Take a hit for me, Timmy!

I'm very disappointed in Timothy. I am gonna go burn my Lincecum jersey now...What a criminal...

If you ask me that radar gun is off. No way Timmy ever does anything less than 90.

Could that perhaps explain his bronchitis problems that scratched him from a start this season?

Dang, Angel Villalona busted, Timmy busted... anyone else gets busted, Giants will be the Bengals of baseball lol.

It IS appalling. What's next "jay"walking?

It was that dam stoner hair!

Well this kinda suc ks

I'm really not surprised by this. One of my biggest concerns about Lincecum was him getting into drugs...just the way he looks (not just the long hair...i don't judge by long hair, as I have pretty d@mn long hair) reminds me of a stoner. I'm not going to shun him for this, I just hope that he doesn't get into anything like coke or get in an accident or something.

Washington is fairly low-key as far as weed goes, unless it is a big grow operation in the mountains or someone trying to bring huge quantities of BC Bud in from Canada. I bet Tim wishes he was busted in Seattle. Under an ounce is the absolute lowest priority of the PD (we voted on that a few years ago). I'm not sure how much harder the state patrol is on this in comparison, though.

Timmy is changing his jersey number to 420

Or number 8-ball.

<<<Nobody under 45 years old cares about people smoking weed.>>>
I seriously doubt anyone over 45 really cares either. When did it really become fashionable...........the Sizzling Sixties!!! Oh yeah Babeeee

"If you ask me that radar gun is off. No way Timmy ever does anything less than 90"

I must say that is probably the funniest comment I have seen on here in months.

I was almost crying.

Awesome, That made my day to know I actually made someone laugh hard.
thanks man.

No matter what the charge, this is going to effect his arbitration dollars significantly. This is a dollar break for the Giants in what he will receive in arbitration, they can use this against him in the hearings.
