Tim Lincecum Punches Out a Dozen Mets

Tim Lincecum struck out 12 New York Mets Wednesday evening in yet another dominating performance for a 2-0 win.

To make matters even more exciting, our favorite stoner hurler surpassed Christy Mathewson in Giants lore for most double-digit strikeout games in franchise history with 29, including three already this season. God, that's hot.

Big Time Timmy Jim gave up five hits over seven innings, using 127 pitches. He struck out his final five batters before four Giants relievers finished the job, including Brian Wilson, who worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save of the season.

The Mets struck out total of 16 times, which is a season-high for a nine inning game. Give them a break though, they just faced three Cy Young winners in four games between Lincecum, Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee.

Also, this picture is damn adorable...
