The sports world was brought to a screeching halt (I guess it should be called the sports locomotive, then) this week when Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was caught smoking heated-up marijuana. SB Nation’s excellent Giants blog, McCovey Chronicles, has come through with a brilliant bit of period-piece satire. A sampling:
If Only Tim Lincecum Were Caught With ‘Panther Sweat’

↵[...] Star pitcher Art Nehf was caught with a hip flask full of hooch, besmirching his name and reputation as well as that of his fair team.
↵Though Nehf's doggy, Joe Brooks appearance has always led this observer to believe that he partook of a belt of giggle water whenever convenient, the official pinch only confirms our suspicions.

↵Yes, in the Prohibition era, alcohol was sometimes referred to as “giggle water.” People were quite imaginative back then, but our generation invented a hybrid of baseball, chess, aerial warfare, and football, so I’d call it even. Wait, we haven’t invented that yet? Nevermind.
