Peep this homeskillets!

The first link is to an article on espn.com about an Indian reality show called "The Million Dollar Arm". The two winners of which were trained in California by a former major leaguer in the hopes of signing a major league contract. The scout they interview at the end of the article is from the Giants.

The second link is a couple of clips from Indian news shows explaining the event. Brian Wilson's all over it like a cream cheese on a bagel.

I know this would probably work better as a fanshot but those things are dumb...and I don't partake in dumb...except those times when I do.

Just another reason for me to bring up their blog.
They had the tryout for major league teams today. After following their blog this season I really hope they have a good showing and get picked up by some team.

Once again, ESPN is behind on the times. The Giants site brought this up several months ago. Also the winners got to chill at Barry Bonds’ crib.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

There was some kind of dumb fanshot about that. Who was the idiot that put that there?

GAZAB!

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .

Wasn’t this discussed last off season? Or is this deja vu all over again?

If I were more clever, I’d have a snarky quip about the irony of a crappy fanpost that says how crappy fanshots are… damn my lack of cleverness. Is that 75 words?

The clip is worth watching not for Brian Wilson, but for the smoking hot female anchors.

Did everyone see that one of the kids that won was throwing 90, that is pretty damn good with little formal baseball training. Also I thought that I saw the Giants sent a scout to watch them throw.

I'm young but i didn't fall off the truck yesterday!
