Shawon's son is already better than him at cheating the game.

There are several relatives of major leaguers here, with one matchup on Friday featuring left-hander Brandon Bonilla (son of Bobby) pitching to Shawon Dunston Jr.; Dunston has been extremely impressive with plus speed, good hip rotation producing hard line-drive contact and, amazingly, three walks in nine plate appearances.

Is dunston in our system?

Don’t we have a lofton somewhere in our minors too?

I think Dunston is a prospect for next year's draft

and we drafted Chris Lofton in this year’s draft-he’s at SK I think

Curfew cut back to 9:30!

I feel prickishly demanding!

I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

He’s too busy ruining the Giants hitters to influence his son so poorly.

Cheater, cheater pumpkin eater

Wait, why is pumpkin eater an insult?

Bold prediction: The Dunston family is headed for counseling after this display of obvious disrespect for the family’s values.

So optimistic I fart sunshine and rainbows.
