San Francisco is reeling, clearly, as it was swept by Florida. Posey, the heart and soul of the team not to mention the best hitter on an offensively challenged club, suffered a fractured a bone his lower left leg and three torn ligaments on both sides of his left ankle when Florida’s Scott Cousins barreled into him on a clean play at the plate on Wednesday. You could almost feel the hangover in Thursday’s game. For example, Aubrey Huff, , who replaced Posey in the cleanup spot, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts, a double play and a groundout with the tying run at second in the ninth in Thursday’s loss.

The good news is that San Francisco starts ace Tim Lincecum (4-4, 2.06) tonight in Milwaukee. Lincecum threw his first shutout of the season last time out against the A’s. The right-hander scattered three hits, walked no batters, struck out six and, at one point, retired 21 straight. But Milwaukee starts arguably the NL’s best pitcher right now in Shawn Marcum (6-1, 2.37). He has won six in a row and allowed just one run in eight innings in his last start. Marcum is the NL’s co-leader in wins and has allowed one run or fewer in six of his 10 starts.
