It may just be because he is the NL leader in saves, but it's nice to see Brian Wilson getting some pub. Pretty lame article, but cool nonetheless:
This little tidbit from a scout was in Stark's latest article:
• Brian Wilson -- "I hadn't seen him much before, but he's something special."

Wilson’s done. Overrated. A never-was, never-will-be. Gimme some Fatmando.

Whats the sign thing he does when he saves games, that crossed arm x thing? Is it a religious thing?
Anyways, Wilson is jacked, I should eat 60 eggs a week.

I was on board when I got to the egg white omelet. Men who can cook are super keen in my book.
Reading this thing and Prince Fielder’s veg turn makes me wonder if teams work with nutritionists at all. Would be worth it to offer ways to eat for performance.

"Men who can cook are super keen in my book"
Is it a poetry book?

Most of my books are…er…NC-17 and involve men. With other men. That can be poetry I guess.

did you guys see fielder last night...
at the play at the plate? holy crap, I can’t imagine what I would do (after I peed my pants) if that man was coming full speed at me with intentions of turning me into a pancake.

Jesus
I did see than and I simply can not beliee that both guys came out of it unharmed.
That was the best hit on a catcher I’ve seen since J. T. Snow used to do it. AND the guy held onto the ball! Unbelievable play.

I do, however
have reservations about that kind of play being legal, especially when there are guys like Fielder barreling home at full speed. Seems like a career ending shoulder injury waiting to happen…
Good thing the frequency of the play itself is relatively low.

Wasn't...
... Fielder the same guy that knocked Todd Greene out for a while (and eventually his career)?

GAMERS don’t wear helmets when they play catcher, they wear flimsy caps, and get Post-Concussion Syndrome after collisions! WOOOO, GAMERS!!!

Curious
Can you fit a helmet underneath those new style catcher’s masks? Looks like Greene got his taken off.
by sfgfan on May 2, 2008 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
the helmet is incorporated into the mask. You just can’t quite see it in that picture.

Brady
had all that TV exposure during the NFL draft…

That was one of the top comedy moments of the year, friends. watching him as pick after pick went by. And then he had to be ushered into a room away from the cameras. Bwahahaha.

Brady Quinn is an All Star, though!
Yup, an All Star douche.

are All Star douches
voted on by fans or by coaches?

It's a media vote
Probably the best “takes one to know one” event in the history of All Star voting.

OK
No more Fanposts about Giants players who are doing well. That’s an order.
by Natto on May 3, 2008 1:04 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree. Reverse psychology only. Last night when the Giants had the bases loaded nobody out I told my wife (who never watches baseball) that Freddie Lewis is the guy I want up there. He struck out. Then Ray Durham came up, I told my wife he’s the biggest bum on the team, and he singles in two runs. Let’s just write fanposts for players that are stinking it up.

The answer is clear: stop talking to your wife. Giants win.
