NEW YORK - Terry Collins knew it wasn't only his team that wouldhave trouble facing the likes of Tim Lincecum on Wednesday night,just as others would have had trouble in recent days against fellowCy Young Award winners Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. But it didn't make it any easier to watch, and it didn't make itany easier to accept the latest bout of futility as the Mets dropped a 2-0 decision to theSan Francisco Giants that could have served as a highlight reel forLincecum. Striking out 12 in seven innings and dancing his way outof the few jams he got into, the Mets made him look even better. TheGiants' relievers who followed him set down the final five hitters,four by strikeout.
