The Bearded One

Giants closer Brian Wilson is hyterical. He's a typical baseball flake and I'm surprised he isn't left-handed.
He had a guest spot during the off season, which you can find on YouTube, on the George Lopez show and he was incredibly funny. Funnier than the host, which I must say isn't that hard to do.
Anyway, Wilson probably isn't in much of a funny mood today since he strained his left oblique nearly a week ago and had a throwing session cut short today because of pain.
It doesn't look good for Wilson to be available when the season starts. I'm guessing the Giants put him on the disabled list. It's a long season and you don't want him to miss more time than necessary.
He's also missed time this spring with lower back pain. Not good for San Fran.
When you look at closers, not many can put together several great seasons in a row. Many are up one year, down the next. That is why Mariano Rivera is so ridiculous. He's never had a bad season.
I'm not saying Wilson will have a bad season this year. But I'm also not saying he's going to dominate and rack up 48 saves like he did last year.
The Giants have great pitching. That is undeniable. But if they don't have a guy to shut the door in the 9th, then there could be some wasted efforts from the starters. If I'm Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez or Bumgarner, I'm pretty worried about The Bearded One.
