What's wrong with Brian Wilson?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That stupid fucking X thing he does with his arms after every save, to begin with.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->A friend sent Wilson a photo of Dodgers third baseman Casey Blake mocking the crossed-arms gesture that the Giants’ All-Star closer makes when he finishes off a victory. The gesture is symbolic of Wilson’s faith and it’s also a signal to his late father. The background on Wilson’s gesture can be found here.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I remember that story and I'm pretty sure Wilson is full of shit. He just thinks it's badass -- it has nothing to do with his dad or his faith.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, he is like the lead singer of Creed. It's all an act, and I refuse to believe that he isn't a flaming douchebag. He fits the description to a T.

His victory dance disrespects the game and his opponents and HE ought to get dusted off for it...though that's tough to do to a closer...
The idea that mocking it is wrong just tells me Wilson is a bitch.

Unfortunately for Wilson, Christ is a Dodger fan.

Really? Totally had him pegged for a Padres fan.

He's on one of my fantasy teams. I had no idea what he looked like or his stupid X. Thanks for the education.

Seriously? He's one of the biggest douches in the league. His pants are practically painted on. I've said for a couple years that if there's one pitcher I'd suspect is juicing, it's him. He's got some very unnatural looking pipes.

It would make my week and possibly my year if this blew up in the Cards organization's faces and ended up leading to an investigation that went straight up to LaRussa and Duncan as well. Maybe McGwire would also be involved.

If Franklin is a 2nd time offender, it would not be a 50 game suspension.
