Dodgers In Lead For Brian Wilson: MLB Rumors


Wow!! You really think you know a closer. Then this hits your e-mail box like a "Dear John" letter to a GI.

from MLBTradeRumors.com
Dodgers In Lead For Brian Wilson: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com:
The Pirates and Giants are both "serious suitors" for Wilson, who appears close to signing soon, according to Scott Miller of CBS Sports. Miller adds that the Diamondbacks and Dodgers have some level of interest as well, and he notes that Wilson "has an affinity for Los Angeles." The Phillies were also thought to have interest prior to the six-game skid that has pushed them firmly into their stance as sellers.

Brian Wilson!!! Do you care to explain this "affinity" for Los Angeles?

After all we've been through? I suppose all those 171 saves meant nothing to you Brian?

Remember 2006 when you first broke in with the Giants? We had nothing then. Hell, Felipe Alou was the manager. You only saved one game and we only won 76 games overall, but hell, we were still a team and it meant something.

Then Bochy came in and things started to turn around. You had success, the team had success and we made it to the mountain top in 2010.

Then you blow out your elbow and the team wins another ring, almost without you and all of a sudden, it's like we're not good enough for you anymore. Nobody can make Brian happy. It became all about Brian. You just shut yourself off and rehabbed your elbow.

With Ms. Los Angeles I'll bet. Did she help you with your rehab Brian? Did she do the  Throwers 10 Exercises with you Brian?

I mean, don't get me wrong Brian, I knew things were bad. I suspected something when Sergio Romo went from serial photo-bomber to real-life closer. But this Brian???  The Dodgers??

So, how long have you had these "affinities" for Los Angeles, Brian?

Did you have these "affinities" while you were closing games with the Giants, Brian?

Well, DID YOU? You filthy pig!!!!

How many other cities did you have an "affinity" for, Brian?

Pittsburgh? Arizona?

How many of our other division rivals have you had an "affinity" for Brian Wilson? How many?

Do you like my sister too, Brian? Does that turn your "affinity" on?

Do you like Philadelphia too, Brian?

Ph-ing Philadelphia for Ph-ing crying out loud?

What do they have that San Francisco doesn't?

Cheese steaks?

Well Phreak you and Phreak your Philly cheese steaks Brian Wilson, You suck!!!

I don't care where you end up, but don't end up here no more, 'cause we're through!!!

I mean, I don't know what kind of a fan you think I am Brian Wilson, but it was all fine when it was just you, me and the Giants.

But now?!? The Dodgers??? And the Diamondbacks?!?  

Uh no, sorry Brian but, Homey don't play that!!!

The Readers Digest version:


and the extended Homey D. Clown version:


Hopefully, this is all a big misunderstanding and Brian Wilson comes crawling back to the Giants.
