Some of my favorite parts in that thread are the trade rumors dealing with Aurilia.

lol

Aurilia to Rays?
Rich Aurilia | Giants | Interested: Rays?
According to the San Jose Mercury News, infielder Rich Aurilia might be an option for the Tampa Bay Rays, who just lost rookie third baseman Evan Longoria to a wrist injury.

Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.

Still my favorite part of the Steffes article
According to the San Francisco Giants web site, the team’s corner position with Jose Castillo had been struggling, especially from the plate where the third baseman is hitting .105.

this is prolly my favorite part

"He doesn’t make mistakes running and he’s got a great glove." Gonring said the one area Rohlinger needed to improve was in the field.

It was college and everyone was experimenting

But today I am a happy healthy adult, who has learned the error of his ways.
Just today I stumbled across this CAKE graph (because we all know pie graphs are biased).

5000 happy healthy adults were polled
