Randy Messenger is the most popular San Francisco Giant today.
Last night, the Giants traded embattled sucky closer Armando Benitez to the Florida Marlins in exchange for Messenger, a little known reliever. The move marks a huge sigh of relief for Giants fans everywhere.
But who is Randy Messenger?
- He’s the guy who punched a teammate (Scott Olson) in the face.
- In the grand tradition of Pacman Jones, Messenger enjoys MAKING IT RAIN!!!
- He once played for the
SpringfieldAlbuquerque Isotopes. - He enjoys basketball and music.
- He could talk, or not talk, for hours.
- He had a taco feast in the Mission with his estranged father Ralph Barbieri last night. Tolbert was there too, but couldn’t hear a thing, on account of his earplugs.
- The Miami Sports Dude think Messenger is, like, so hot. Too bad for Messenger there are no gay people in San Francisco.
- Did we mention he enjoys making it rain? Let’s keep him away from Stephen Jackson.
Good news: We rid ourselves of Benitez. Bad news: We’re still in last place, or second to last.
Question: If Hennesey can’t close, do we throw Lincecum into the fire? Answer: Yes. He’d be unstoppable. Who was/is the Reds closer that also looks like a 15 year old?
Were the Springfield Isotopes close to moving to Albuquerque? Wait, no, I think it was Sante Fe.
Russ Ortiz, closer?
No way. Anyone in the minors? Though, the way Ortiz pitched the other night was very, very impressive. He’s got the cojones, the junk, and the nightly/daily durability to pitch. So maybe. Wow, I really came around on my opinion in this reply.

usa vs china at stanford tomorrow night. some youngsters and some euros face off against the top 11 from a billion person nation. imagine the tryouts for that squad!
hangover united vs soccerzone fc 8am ct on sunday. b-lo dominates against a very talented group, single-footedly carrying his team to early morning glory.
If someone gets thrown into the fire as the new closer, my vote is for Jonathan Sanchez.
I’ll vote for Patrick Misch, who is quietly having a good season in Fresno.
“Were the Springfield Isotopes close to moving to Albuquerque? Wait, no, I think it was Sante Fe.”
It was Albuquerque. That was a classic episode.
And I vote for Lincecum. He would dominate in the closer role.
What is the minimum denomonation you can throw and still be considered a “rainmaker”? Any truth to the rumor that Barbieri has already slept with him and is going to run him out next?
He also has a funky curve and flat fastball. I’ve been wanting to get rid of him for a long time. Considering it’s pretty much a salary dump I don’t mind exchanging one Mess for another Mess.
Enjoy him!
As a Marlins fan, I agree with JD. I also agree with Ryan. Lincecum is nasty and would make a serious closer for you guys.
And by the way, I personally do not find Randy Messenger, or any man for that matter, hot. I was quoting a stripper that saw him “making it rain” at her club. Just don’t want Tim Hardaway hating me.
So to sum up:
-Messenger and Benitez both suck but should do ok in their new surroundings.
-I think Lincecum should close for you guys.
-Not gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
