SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- If he has to use crutches, Tim Lincecum sure digs his snazzy set that comfortably get him around following surgery on his left hip earlier this month. They allowed him to be back at the ballpark this week with his teammates and support system, including the faithful Giants fans.
''I'm more into the moment just being at the field, being around the guys,'' Lincecum said Tuesday. ''It's not going to happen again for a while.''
The San Francisco pitcher should be walking on his own again in a matter of days - ''full weight-bearing for short distances in four days or so,'' he said.
