“Relieved? It still bothers you a little bit because you know how much he's hurting and maybe even embarrassed. You do think about his feelings. It's something that has to be done, But again, how he dealt with it was one of the more impressive things I've seen from a veteran player," San Francisco Giants' manager Bruce said of Lincecum in a brief press conference and told them about his induction in the bullpen.

On preparations, the San Francisco Giants' catcher Buster Posey stated in media and told the reporters about his team’s hard-work which they are putting to get the true level of power in their game.
He said, "We've been winning. And that's the most important thing, Would I have liked to contribute more? Sure. But that's the great thing about baseball and why it's a hard game. You have to be able to go through the highs and lows and keep that even keel."
The all important game is on Wednesday and everybody is waiting for the final line-up which still to be announced.
