I'm gonna be heading to the ballpark real early to try and see Lincecum's initial warmups. Not even bullpen, I mean longtoss, stretching, etc. Does anybody have any educated guesses as to what time that would be?


Gaston:

IIRC, the Giants open the gates about two hours before the game. The Giants take batting practice first and the Phillies must conclude their BP 45 minutes before the first pitch. Your best bet is to go the knot-hole route during the 2 o'clock hour and then enter the park at about three. I'm sure you can catch a glimpse of our boy in action.

By the way, if you want to read an awe-inspiring dedication to today's start, check out Grant's work over at the McCovey Chronicles. There is some amazing stuff in today's gameday thread.
