Too Much Partying?

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.
