PrintIt 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."

Going through yesterday's route...
Wilson’s done. Overrated. A never-was, never-will-be. Gimme some Fatmando.
Proud pappa of....STEVE HOLM!!
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.

make 80% eggwhites
atleast, please save your arteries.

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.

like Zito’s crazy nutrition in mail order box. muphins from seaweed and steak from recycled tires.

"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.

Hey, Leaves of Grass
That’s all I’m saying about that.

Homosexuality, poetry, and books read by important people
Nice tie in!

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!!!

Oh yeah
Head injuried, too. Head injuries FTW!

Curious
Can you fit a helmet underneath those new style catcher’s masks? Looks like Greene got his taken off.
Nobody better try turning me into a pancake!

Brian Wilson: Gamer
A gamer has 12 oz. of glass with his cashews after dinner.
That's nothing
Robb Nen used to eat rusty nails instead of sunflower seeds.

then
he would spit the rusty nails through Dodger hitter’s eyeballs, rendering them powerless against his overwhelming manliness.
So EAS couldn't get BW in their commercials
rather than Brady Quinn?
Ryan Paul: Two four-letter words are better than one.
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.

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

To clarify, though
Good reporters/journalists/analysts aren’t allowed to vote.

This reminds me of...
One one my favorite lines ever, about Frank Thomas: “First-ballot Hall of Famer, first-ballot jerk.”

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.
