Henry Schulman notes that Brian Wilson’s poor performance on Sunday might be related to hard partying on Saturday night. How did he know? Brian twittered (tweeted?) his evening:
Somebody alerted me to Wilson’s Twitter page. Unless somebody hijacked the page, we have to conclude the Giants’ closer was out very late Saturday night clubbing in Scottsdale. There are a couple of posts suggesting he was getting into it with what he called “overaggressive males.” His last post of the night is stamped “about 22 hours ago,” in other words, 1 a.m. Sunday.
Which would not have worth mentioning except that the Giants played a day game today. In that game, Wilson could not throw fastballs where he wanted and lost a 4-1 lead in the ninth for his first blown save of the season. The Giants ended up losing in the 12th, 5-4.
It’s one thing for a fan to take embarrassing pictures of an athlete and post them on the internet, but these players should be a bit more careful when they’re talking about themselves.
