McGEEZER GRAND SLAM !!!!! I told you guys he would come back.

You can't claim an "I told you guys" when you say the same thing about EVERY Giant...

Wait What I think I just had a waking dream. I had a message already typed out waiting to Post Reply........Had to erase and type New message

 

[moxie]

lol! Who was he flipping off? That must feel pretty good for him to finally come through.

Those few days off really helped him, I guess.

It may be time for Nori to sit a spell too.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants 4-0 Lincecum with some breathing room

 

[calsnowskier]

Aoki really is flailing.

I expect him to sit tomorrow...

Alright McGehee. Let's see what we can do next round

My strategy would be to give him more days off even though I'm very happy for today's first at bat.

I just realized something...

Pitchers don't wear jackets on the base paths anymore. When did that stop?

 

[Band of Brothers]

nice play by Aoiki

One AB does not a turn around make, but...

He did have a VERY nice season last year. It is VERY likely that he was pressing due to playing for his hometown team, and he just got on his heels and couldn't recover.

OT: Was reading BaseballAmerica's first mock draft of the year. Was VERY interesting. With the 19th pick they had Brady Aiken to SF. Obviously Aiken had TJS a month or two back, but I really liked the idea of it.

Thoughts?

NICE PLAY!!!

NL West note: Dodgers will be getting Puig and closer Kenley Jansen back this week

I don't trust the mock.

1) The Giants pick 18, not 19.
2) Is Aiken even eligible? Did he end up going to a JC?
3) I would not touch Aiken with a 10 foot pole. Not without EXTENSIVE medical exams, which you can't get from him for the next year or so due to the TJS.

Maybe that will mess with their chemistry. They are rolling right now...

The 18/19 part is my fault haha.

Aiken went to an "IMG Academy". Guess it's kinda like an AAU/college style thing
