Giants Midnight Replay

commentary on the sf giants from 2907 miles away

Boooooring Giants Tweets.

Ever since Brian Wilson and Zito shut down their twitter accounts (thanks to some assholes) the Giants presence on Twitter has taken a noticeable nosedive.

But with Pablo Sandoval jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, I figure I would pick apart what was left of the San Francisco Giants’ twitter accounts. Here are some “highlights” (lowlights).

Thomas Neal on his @TdaddyNeal definitley is the one tweeting the most, and as far as I can tell has the “most to say” if you consider this….

@TdaddyNeal Thomas Neal “Watching the Steelers Vs Ravens play make me feel like I made the right choice picking baseball No way in hell would I let Ray Lewis Hit me”

something to say.

———————————————————————————————


Ehire Adrianza wins the award for worst tweets ever, let me give you a sample.

@soncaballos ehire adrianza “33 dias para Spring Training”

Ya….. he’s been tweeting that for at least 64 days now. wow, buy an XBOX dude.

• If you want a big mouth full of POSITIVE VIBES!!!!! Then take a gander at Jeremy Affeldt’s Twitter account, or even his blog?.?.. Although it is my immediate nature to ridicule someone for using a twitter account for good and not for what it was meant for, I will refrain, because I like Affeldt and in this day and age it kinda takes some kinda balls to be mister religious man. (oh but please Jeremy, can we refrain from this question!!!) Here is one of his (not his) better posts.


@JeremyAffeldt Jeremy Affeldt ““Many of life’s failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas Edison”

Meh… not terrible, but pretty boring drivel.

Darren Ford is still in his Twitter diapers, as this is his only post.

@DarRunFord Darren Ford “Thanks for the love bout to learn how to tweet….lol”

————————————————————————————-


• On the other end of the talking spectrum is fan favorite Pablo Sandoval who has blown about 64 tweets or about one tweet every 45 minutes during his first two days on twitter. Hopefully Pablo can come up with something better than…..

@pandoval48 Pablo Sandoval “Well my friends is time to run…cardio time twitt off for few minutes”

……. you do that Pablo.. you do that.

————————————————————————————-

• The most instersting Twitter account and blog belongs to former Giants Minor Leaguer Garrett Broshuis who brings pretty funny and random tweets like:

@broshuis Garrett Broshuis “Sad gym tale: Old Cuban lady with whom I often prac spanish, hadn’t seen in months, no longer remembers me.”

And writes some seriously interesting blogs at his blog called, Minor League Life that everyone should check out.

Why Are Baseball Players Drawn to Douchy Garb

So here is the senario… you are drafted by team X. The first day at team X’s spring training complex you show up to warm-ups in your normal white shirt and jeans. Over the process of a couple of weeks you start seeing Ed Hardy shirts showing up on the torsos of your teamates. At first you try and throw a couple into your clothes rotation so you can say that you always wore those shirts. Then it happens….. suddenly…one day, you are wearing Affliction clothing and growing a soul patch. Your transformation is complete, now the rookies coming up are looking to you for fashion advice. How did you go from a perfectly normal guy with a plus fastball and decent off speed pitches, to a black-shirts-with-white-crowns/skulls/bones/birds-wearing douche. 

Let’s get a handle on this guys. Just because your whole life is baseball doesn’t mean you can run around wearing America’s number 1 douchebag uniform. I am not sure who started this trend but it needs to stop. I am calling out all members of the Giants rookie class, please stop this disturbing fashion trend. You think it gives you that “yo don’t mess with me!!!” look. But it is more “I’m suddenly rich and am trying to somehow hold onto my crappy high school style”. 

Here are some the worst offenders on YOUR SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS!!!

Sorry Rowand is an easy target….. moving on

ahhhh how cute…. you guys are twins….. and those crowns on your shirts make you look like KINGS!!!! ……ahhhhh no……

ahhhh Pablo with the repeat offense +walgreens glasses….. ouch

Bengie looks to be walking out of a discoteque in Fresno in this one!

Of course Weezy wears shit like this……. uhhh actually this one is not TERRIBLE but very close.

Yes even our fresh faced, and recessed tooth Lincecum was at one time rocking the AFFLICTION!!!! brand. For shame for shame. let’s hope he has moved on from this Junior College look to something more striking.….

But the shirt to end ALL shirts goes to ……(drum roll)…………….

Rafael Cova… one of our minor leaguers, is absolutely shredding my cornea in this photo. GOOD LORD man…… who dresses you? No wonder you are not smiling…

Special thanks to Lauren from sfgiantsgirl blog for letting me know that I am “not funny” and that I should not steal her pictures. …… Just when I was beginning to think her site was interesting and useful. Now I realize that I made fun of all her potential boyfriends…..

Lauren…. I thought I understood you… I love Andres Torres also…. can’t we just be friends?
