CJ Wilson on Politics and the Gyroball

Found March 19, 2008 on Tirico Suave: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: CJ Wilson,  Turk Wendell
TEAMS: Texas Rangers

CJ Wilson is not only a low cost saves option but quite a free spirit as well. An avowed California Democrat, Wilson was recently asked why MLB players care little about the election. His answer, "Come on man you have to admit the median or average guy in a baseball clubhouse does drive an SUV, drinks beer, golfs, likes college sports, chews or dips tobacco and is relatively a d**chebag." He is essentially right and it's always nice to see a player refer to his peers in such a way. Continuing his quest to become the next Turk Wendell, Wilson is also working on the gyroball. He is looking to become the first American pitcher to throw the pitch in a game. This guy will definitely find his way into my fantasy clubhouse this year.

You knew this was coming. Brian McRae is speaking out about the rampant drug abuse in the Mets locker room back in 1998 and 1999.
