Random Rants

As we kick off Spring Training, I have several thoughts floating around in my head. Some are baseball relevant. Some are not. But I felt like sharing them, anyway.

-Brian Wilson needs to shave the beard. In 2010, he said that he was going to grow a beard and not shave it until the Giants lost and went home. Well, they lost and went home in 2011. But I still see a beard and I think the thing is cursed now. Walking into Scottsdale Stadium with it still on was a bad, bad, bad idea. Vogelsong strained his back and is out for around 10 days...Charlie Culberson dropped a weight on his finger and broke it...Vogelsong was sent home sick today...I just have a really bad feeling about this.

-Jeremy Affeldt's hand is completly healed from his ridiculous frozen burger patty accident. Why would you ever think it was okay to cut something in your hand? We'll be okay this year. Matt Cain was kind enough to buy Affeldt a Slice-o-Matic.

Timmy has some pretty awesome shades.

-Is it just me, or did Vogelsong lose some hair in the offseason? I was watching the Town Hall Meeting video and Vogey seemed just a little thinner on top.

-For 2012, it would be only fitting for Buster Posey to use Phillip Phillips as his walkup music. Both are from Leesburg, Georgia. It's a very small town, so it's pretty rare that two super talented people can come from there. But if Buster uses him for his walkup music, I want to see Phillip Phillips give Buster some credit, too! Like wearing a Posey jersey one day.
