This is a really good article about how Aaron Rowand got "addicted" (his word) to his Pinarello and lost 10 pounds

He seems like a really cool guy. The Giants just paid too much for him (much like the Zito signing).

They should have had a picture of his Pinarello.

Are you thinking orange and black paint job?

Nice. I see Aaron as a sprinter. Bet that dude can push out the watts.

Cool article, always helps legitimize cycling to the masses when a Pro athelete in "traditional" stick and ball sports talks of his appreciation for cycling.

Dude, how you could write such a lucid sentence 25 minutes after we got back from a hard http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=13821130 mile night ride is amazing to me.

Not to be picky, but nothing is like the Zito signing.

Word.

Zito is getting something like $18M in 2010 and Rowand is due $12M. That's ~$30M tied up with two players that had average, at best, seasons in 09. These contracts are also preventing the team from a much needed bat in the middle of the order.

he may be a better cyclist than center fielder at this point....just sayin.

It's rare I resurrect an old thread...but...

Things worked ok for the Giants, eh?

caloso 03-05-11 11:20 PM

Not too bad.
