Beard pictured at right
According to Ken Gurnick, and featured on the Dodgers official website (thus, it must be true), we've re-signed the bearded one, Brian Wilson, to a one-year deal with a player option for a second year.
Apparently Wilson wanted closer salary, so we we gave it to him despite the fact that he's not our named closer at this point. Forget about that, or the salary amount. It's a solid idea. He gets the cash he wanted (and deserved), we get who's now arguably one of the best set up men in the game, and someone who can close if the situation plays out that way, all the while having a thus-far terrific closer in Kenley. Given that we're not a cash-strapped club, this makes way too much sense.
Welcome back, BDub. I was at the game when you made your home debut, sitting along third base line in deep left. I can report that you were strongly embraced at that moment and ever since, despite your Jint-ness.
ps- Mrs. Dusty says no-go on my growing a Wilson-esque beard. Not that I actually could.

Belli to the ChiSox. Lots of deep dish in his future.

You just can't get good wisdom like that these days, except from a Son.
It's finally officially official re Nicole Kidman being re-signed.
I never would have thought I could be this excited about Brian Wilson. I am so happy to have his crazy ass back. Thanks for hanging around dude, we're learning to love you in a big way.

Smart. Such a good re-sign Kid Karen needed to double post her comment
