Brian Wilson Throws a Tantrum, Aubrey Huff Cries

The San Fracisco Giants were up 4-1 heading into the bottom of the 9th tonight at Detroit. Brian Wilson came on for the save and then this happened:

- V. Martinez singled to center
- J. Peralta singled to shallow right, V. Martinez to second
- R. Raburn grounded into fielder's choice, V. Martinez to third, J. Peralta out at second
- A. Avila walked, R. Raburn to second
- B. Inge singled to shallow left, V. Martinez scored, R. Raburn to third, A. Avila to second
- J. Affeldt relieved B. Wilson
- A. Dirks safe at first on second baseman E. Burriss' fielding error, R. Raburn scored, A. Avila to third, B. Inge to second
- B. Boesch lined into double play, B. Inge out at third

Luckily the Giants got Boesch to line into a game ending bases loaded double play but after Wilson was yanked from the game he threw a temper tantrum in the dugout.

Was the best part of this tantrum that "Eye of the Tiger" was playing on the ball park speaker system during the whole thing? Rhetorical! I imagine the conversation between Brian Wilson and the bat/Gatorade cooler/beard went something like this:

Hey partner c'mon you gotta relax! Don't force it, you're gonna injury something.

Who.does.Brian.Wilson's beard.work.for? Who.does.Brian.Wilson's beard.work.for?

That's right buddy, you show that Gatorade cooler who's boss! Hey, just grab a hold of the bat, bite your lip and give it hell. C'mon, we're gonna get through this. You tell that Gatorade cooler who's boss!

After the game Aubrey Huff started crying in the handshake line. Someone should remind him that it's July 1st and that this was game #83 of 162 for the Giants. When I find the video I'll post it but for now you'll just have to laugh at this picture of it.

Jesus, what a game for the Giants. Did they all visit Manny Ramirez's physician last week?
