I noticed he hasn’t tweeted since the blown save. I wonder if GINATS BRASS!!! said something about it to him.

If Wilson sputters his way into middle relief, that do and those tattoos start to look even more stupid, like little monuments to the fact that there was once a closer here.

He’s a grown man. He can do whatever he wants. But he should act like a grown man and take responsibility for any actions that affects his career and his teammates.

Flaming was a very relevant choice of word, there.

ASK ROOMSERVICE
I’m laughing at this whole thing but I have to wonder if Mr. Schulman gets shut out by the team as a result. He didn’t say anything classless or tacky like Damon Bruce did, but Wilson might take offense and that could be enough to give Schulman the deep freeze.

A couple years back he made a crass remark about a wet T shirt contest in relation to the Giants/A’s wives softball game. Several of the players took offense and the team implimented a shutdown on him. No member of the team would speak to the press as long as Bruce was in the room. And so it has been ever since.

He had one bad game that he blew and has pitched well the rest of the season so far. Give him a break already.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.
Awesome
So he is using the “I WUZ JEST JOKING LOLZ!!” defense.

I don’t get why anyone is thinking Wilson is somehow being particularly classless or some automatic douchebag. His twitter comments are nuts, but so is he; but in an entertaining way. Wilson seems to have a better grasp on when something is said seriously, and when it isn’t, than some here.
If Shulman was concerned about it, he should have told him personally, rather commenting on his own blog, and thereby half speculating that Wilson was out too late and thats why he blew the save. He should be freezed out a bit for this, if not completely iced—temporarily, at least.
And No, 1 blown save does not warrant the kind of pathetic bitch session this whole thread has been.
Adoptive Parent of Francisco Peguero. He can throw, he can run, he can hit(fastballs), and he's Dominican. What else do you need to know?
I do agree with you on the matter that Schulman sort of set himself up for this with his speculation on the blog. Correlation is not causation — if Wilson was out late getting his Scottsdale groove on, that’s not necessarily the reason he blew the save. Conversely, it would be nice if major league baseball players as a general rule didn’t get so butt-hurt by every last thing the newspaper folks wrote about them. It’s been going on forever, but it’s still a pretty immature response to freeze someone out.

I don’t think it’s a particularly big deal if he went out or whatever (he did look pretty crappy, but I cant say going out had anything to do with it), but to get on Shulman for publishing something that Brian Wilson himself published (in a hyper-public way) is a bit silly.

If Shulman hadn’t reported it on his own blog, we would have speculated about it anyway.
The Basil Fawlty Moderating Strategy:
"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
Kevin Frandsen should be with the big team.
Anybody on the Giants beat would write about this story if it was dropped in their lap. It’s not as if Shulman was speculating, he was writing about something in the public domain (until Wilson deleted the tweets, anyway).
I heard Wilson on Friday mentioning how he was trying to get Tim Lincecum on Twitter…good luck with that one now, buddy!
by Bay Area Sports Guy on Apr 27, 2009 3:49 PM PDT up reply actions
He won't
This isn’t anything close to a Damon Bruce situation, Schulman’s built relationships with the entire team for close to 20 years now. I bet half the team thinks Wilson and Zito’s whole Twitter deal is stupid and wished they’d shut up about it.

It's bush league reporting
to bash his Twitter AFTER he blows the save. No accountability, results based thinking blahdeblahblah.
FIRE BRIAN SABEAN... UNLESS HE KEEPS DRAFTING WELL. .. AND SIGNS UNDERRATED PLAYERS LIKE AFFELDT OR PHELPS. .. OR ALRIGHT WHO'S PLAYING WITH THE ALIEN MIND-SWITCHING RAY?

PARPG- Indy post-apocalyptic roleplaying game currently in early planning stages.
I was about to respond, “We wouldn’t care if he had saved the game.”
However, that was the loss that kept us out of the playoffs, and until someone proves otherwise, I say demote him!
Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.
How is it bush league to report something said in public? Because posting to twitter is more public than saying it out loud in front of a group of people…

until today i had no idea what the fk a twiitter even was
learn something new everyday even if u dont want to
Is it just me, or has Wilson’s twitter page disappeared altogether now?
I have seen a kajillion articles about this across the interwebs.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
If Brian Wilson twittered like the rest of us, Schullman wouldn’t have had anything juicy to write about. I mean, unless Wilson had eaten some bad pork the night before.

I guess now that the Twitter is gone everyone will gang up on Wilson’s hairstyle — oh that’s why he blew his save, his hairstyle, if he would just have a “normal” hairstyle he would be in bed at 10pm and sleep 12 hours.
Don’t forget the tattoos and the rock music and the damn kids on your lawn.
