2012 Spring Training

UPDATE: April 16, 2014

As you might know, Brian has been brought up from the DL for the Dodgers. I saw him last night at the Giants game (literally teared up) and he was pretty emphatically booed by the crowd when he began warming up in that awful blue uniform. He didn’t actually pitch last night, but according to the paper, his coaches say he’s looking at lot better after taking time off to deal with elbow irritation. He’s had two Tommy John’s so. We can expect the irritation.

His beard was still glorious, and he danced around a little nervously during the opening ceremonies that were in honor of Jackie Robinson day. I would have given anything (like a really long hug) to know what he was thinking, standing on that field, being booed by the crowd that had once loved him so. We turned him into a legend. I respect that he still just wants to play the game…it just hurts that it has to be with the Dodgers.

In other fun Giants-related news, I got to sit in ROW ONE last night, feet away from Buster Posey, Sergio Romo, Timmy, Machi as they warmed up in the bullpen. It was a complete surprise to me, and seriously cool. The game went well past midnight and we left at the top of the 11th to listen to the rest on the way home and then eventually watch the Giants finally win. It was awesome. AND Rich Aurilia, my first real Giants crush, is now following me on twitter. Eeeee!!! :)

 

 

A small word about Brian leaving the Giants for the Dodgers… My Official post of HeartBreak can be found here.

Obviously, when I got the news, my heart shattered into a million pieces. I wasn’t too surprised that he wasn’t getting resigned by the Giants. Afterall, second Tommy John surgery, and they’ve had a bit of beef. But I am pretty upset that it’s to the DODGERS. Our SWORN ENEMY.

What could be worse? Only the Yankees, maybe, but I think Wilson’s facial hair automatically disqualifies him.

I was so upset with the news, I UNFOLLOWED HIM ON TWITTER. If that doesn’t say feelings are hurt, then I don’t know what.

How will we react when we see him again, now as our nemesis? I have yet to think of a cheer as satisfying as the one for the traitorous Juan – “BOOOOOOO RIBEEEEE!!!!”

is the dream finally dead?!
is the dream finally dead?!

But if we Giants fans are anything, it’s clever and good-natured and loyal and heart broken omg I really can’t believe it Brian don’t go!!!

Insert a million sad faces.

But, because I love him so, I forgive him for selling out and being the voice of a company like Taco Bell. Also, his commercials are Hilarious. And he’s gorgeous. So there.
