First Box Score Of The Year
Yeah, bitches. Just littered with star power right here.
Ewwwwww -->
Make note of that HBP, as Ricky Orta owned Cal League product Thomas Neal in the head, sending a message that the Cactus League doesn't have room for two teams with the same whatever the Mariners and Giants have in common. Neal was said to be laughing after the game, but that just means that Orta knocked the silly bits loose.
I've heard of Kenn Kasparek, and he threw forty-seven consecutive balls in the tenth inning before getting pulled. I've never heard of Anthony Vasquez, but he didn't throw forty-seven consecutive balls in the tenth inning, so in conclusion, Anthony Vasquez is better than Kenn Kasparek, who somehow managed to walk infinity times more Giants than Jesus Colome.
Players to appear in both last year's first box score and this year's first box score: Chris Woodward, Chris Seddon, Mike Carp, Matt Tuiasosopo. Spring Training: It Matters!
Seddon, by the way, allowed four runs in two innings in this year's debut, against zero runs in two innings in last year's debut. Based on this two-point trendline, Chris Seddon's career has really gone to hell in a handbasket.
Tim Lincecum pitching to Chone Figgins featured the same total body volume as a normal-sized person standing still.
Ryan Langerhans drew walks in all three of his plate appearances, which is kind of lazy.

He looks like Orel Hershisher now
And not Orel Hershisher the LA Dodgers pitcher, but Orel Hershisher the retired-LA-Dodgers-pitcher-turned-TV-announcer.
Can you imagine what he'd look like if instead of growing up on Mercer Island
he was from Methville, OR?

Didn't he grow up in Renton?
My friend went to high school with him at Liberty High School which is in Renton.

They really should get him to do those "Beyond the Curve" ads
I expect John Keister is a bit cheaper, however.
Until you go down to Spring Training it is easy to believe the games mean something and people win/lose jobs during game performance.
However, once you actually get down to Arizona and watch a few games; you realize these games don’t mean anything. It is practice. How a pitcher throws in their bullpens is just as important as what happens in the games, sometimes more important.
It is fun. My trip to Spring Training is my favorite time of the year.
But wow are the box scores meaningless.
Weird box score

With the ghosts of 2008 Mariners still in my head, it boggles my mind to think our team could draw 8 walks.
Even in Spring Training against AA pitching.
AA pitching?
It must burn the Giants, and their fans, to know they gave $23M over two years to an AA pitcher.
I know right? Cause he pitched all 10 innings.
Wait what?!? You’re telling me he only pitched one inning?!? Gasp.
Lincecum looks like he is trying to hold in a bong hit for too long.

"Holding"? That photo is edited sir.
Here’s the real one:

Ryan Langerhans is the new B.J. Upton.

He's at least hanging out with black people
but when he is, he’s bow hunting. So, I dunno, does that cancel out?

AND JOHN C. MCGINLEY! Where the hell have I been?!?

You could do an entire Faces series for Tim Lincecum and never run out of material.
Holy crap he’s ugly.
