Giants' Lincecum missed Game 1 introductions due to upset stomach

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy was painfully honest Wednesday afternoon when he explained why pitcher Tim Lincecum missed pre-game introductions for Game 1 of the World Series at Kauffman Stadium.
Bochy said Lincecum was throwing up before yesterday's game, that's why he missed intro. Feels better now.

Shortly before game time, Lincecum informed Giants trainer Dave Groeschner that he wasn't feeling well, a message which was then relayed to pitching coach Dave Righetti.
Lincecum, however, began to feel better as first pitch neared, and was available out of the bullpen in Tuesday's eventual 7-1 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young award winner, has yet to appear in a game this postseason.
