Yay, they gave a millionaire a car! -- nm - Tim Oct 29, 20:43 1
- Homeboy earned it, along with every single WS bonus the Giants players/coaching staff gets. Game checks should goto him, I'd love to be his agent. -- nm - Bloody Ice Oct 29, 20:45
It sounds like Navigator PR might have parted ways with Gomeshi. Oh man. That doesn't bode well. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 20:43

pitching result stat question - znufrii Oct 29, 20:34 8

        it's up to the owner(s) - in 2010, they gave one to bengie molina, even though he'd been traded. uggla's leaving may not have set as well, though. -- nm - b! Oct 29, 20:49
      - and that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 20:40
- Sounds like an Official Scorer's Decision. -- nm - Tim Oct 29, 20:35
