Interesting (and Gutwrenching) Article on Finley - Link

Nice little piece on how Finley's working on a spot in the Rockies organization.  Also has some interesting little factoids about his favorite/least favorite things about the NL West.

Scroll down to the very bottom for the vomit-inducing part of the article.  Makes me really really not like him anymore.

meh
I love that on the baseball page, the caption  is "Finley still defying the odds." Er, what? He's 42 years old and he hits like he's 52. He's defying the odds because he got a minor league contract for a last place team? Because last year he was traded for Edgardo Alfonzo in a straight salary dump? Why are people still taking him seriously? No mention, of course, of his 78 OPS (!) over the past two years.

That guy is my least favorite thing ever.

"Finley's Alley"
"Finley's Alley"? Groan, barf, cough. If that section of right-center is named after anyone, it's Doug Mirabelli. "Finley's Alley"? Please. More like Finley's skid mark.
For just pennies a day, you too can make a difference in the life of a Giants player...like Kevin Correia.

Re: Interesting (and Gutwrenching) Article on Finl
Finley still regards himself as a 500 at-bat guy, even if lots of scouts and talent evaluators disagree.

For "lots of scouts and talent evaluators", read "everyone with a shred of objectivity" and that sentence will be more accurate.

Re: Gramps Finley
I read that same article last year, only it was entitled, "Finley shows GIANTS he can still play." Yeah, he can still play. Badly.
closest thing Armando has to a fan and I'm not that wild about him either

Re: Interesting (and Gutwrenching) Article on Finl
"Even when he has absolutely nothing left to give, it will be hard to tell -- because he has the body of a 25-year-old and the energy to match."

More like, "....a frickin' wrinkly-ass 25-year old."

Good riddance.

Well
He's still on my Christmas card list. Anyone that says the food in SF is the best in the West is on my good list. (Plus, well. Finuriiiii!)
