Poor B Wilson ...

[MarcoPolo]

Wilson came in today, faced 4 batters, made not a single out and gave up 3 runs - thus getting today's loss.

I am heartbroken for the poor guy (NOT!).

"Unbelievable"

(I can't think of anyone better for this to happen to! )

I know the Australia games weirded 'opening day' for MLB, but have we already just dropped having a bunch of games to start the season on one day? WTF with this one-game 'opening day'?

Re Wlison: I don't have any ill will towards that guy, still one of my faves, but until the Dodgers are eliminated I hope he throws like shit.

I wish the Dodgers "True" torture (and not the good kind we had in 2010)

I am kinda glad he is no longer a Giant because his shtick was getting old the day before he started it, but he was a MAJOR cog in '10. He will always have a special place in my orange-heart.

Dude ran the first ever banner out to the CF pole on opening day in 2011...and I used to joke with him from time to time in the Marina. He's a decent guy who seems to have kinda of lost his mind.

I hope he fucking chokes.

Pet Sounds is a great album. He's been a really good songwriter. A real American icon.

He can be seen here toward the end of his prime. Best version of I Can Hear Music, IMHO:

Brian Wilson was put on the DL today with nerve irritation in his right elbow. Wow another blow to the Dodgers pitching staff here early in the season.Wilson said he felt pain Sunday night in San Diego warming up. Mattingly said there is no ligament damage after a MRI but who knows.

That is NOT good. If this is worst-case, I think he could have a fun future in the booth. I could see him getting hooked up with FS1 and becoming a real face of the network.

He was hitting 94-96 on the black last year, and this year barely touched 92? Maybe he needs another Tommy John

The doggies are paying him 10 this year, but Weez has a player option for '15. Anyone know what that option is worth?

"Wilson will make $10 million next season and will have the option to return in 2015 for anywhere from $8.5 million to $10 million, depending on how many games he pitches in 2014. Wilson also can earn an additional $700,000 per year in incentives."

Seeing how pissed he was at the Giants for not treating him right, I will assume that if this is a career ending injury, he will do right by the Dodgers and not pick up his option for 2015.




Right?

I remember the Dodger fan (nice guy) who came on this forum last year and said the Dodgers could afford to pay Wilson $10 mill a year to sit around the clubhouse and tell jokes.

Little did he know how prophetic he really was.
