“Fly the beard” was Virgin America’s slogan for their 4th birthday celebration. They setup in front of the Giants stadium with a makeshift airplane window for fans to look out of with a fake beard. Great idea, Virgin!

Brian Wilson’s beard gets it’s own baseball card.

The card set from Topps is non-sports themed and specifically dedicated to famous facial hair styles and the famous people that sported them. Other figures with their own cards include Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Quite an honor for the jet black beard that Topps has given the moniker, “The Closer.”

Despite a two and half hour rain delay, the Giants are up 10-0 against the Tigers after 3 and Barry Zito is on his way to going 2-0 since his return. It helps to have ridiculous run support.

Will accept cash, food stamps, or wins. Interesting trades considered.

How does a team who is consistently one of the best in the league at putting fans in the seats run out of money?

Bad news is always better first….Posey broke his leg. Good news: Belt is coming back.

“Belt takes the place of outfielder and pinch-runner Darren Ford, who hit the disabled list along with Posey. The Giants were originally going to resist calling Belt up to replace Ford, but the loss of Posey has changed matters as the Giants need to find a way to inject offense into the club, and fast. The Giants won’t have any trouble fitting Belt into the lineup, as first baseman Aubrey Huff is struggling with the bat while left field can also accomodate Belt’s production.”

“Posey’s broken leg could heal in one-to-two months, a time span common for a broken leg. However, broken legs can mean a wide range of severity, and the complication of torn ligaments makes a possible ETA for a return that much more murky. Some players return from a broken leg inside two months. Others miss almost two full seasons, asKendrys Morales of the Angels can attest. It would surprise no one if Posey was done for the season, but let’s exercise some restraint and wait for further clarification.”
