Tim Lincecum is a Cy Young candidate again this season, but is unlikely to repeat. "I would like to see (Chris) Carpenter because of his comeback," Lincecum said. "He's put up pretty crazy numbers." Lincecum, after outdueling Dan Haren on Thursday, is 15-7 with a 2.48 ERA. His ERA is lower than last year's 2.62, and his strikeout total (261) is four fewer than last year's 265.
