Brian Wilson & The Machine

It is a reference to the Nicolas Cage move 8mm. Yeah Wilson is quite the guy, have heard a couple of his interviews with Jim Rome and it is always entertaining

Pretty cool dude, no doubt. Doesn't really care, a bit off above the shoulders and just does his thing without really offending anyone along the way.

Plus he used to write very good songs when he was with the Beach Boys.

Since "the machine" in the film 8mm is a pedophile who stars in snuff films, I don't think Wilson will acknowledge that this is the basis of the character, not that it isn't, because let's face it, the guy's elevator doesn't exactly reach the top floor.

There are rumors floating around that the "machine" was actually Pat Burrell who was hanging out at his house that day. LOL, if so, this team has great chemistry...maybe a little too great.

Wilson and Burrell are infamous in the club house with practical jokes and other antics... They are also the two biggest booze hounds on the team. After a early practice on Monday, they hit a downtown bar at about 11:30am and didn't walk out till almost 8:00... Wilson is the mastermind behind all the antics...They do some pretty funny stuff, most of which gets close to crossing that line.

The Machine is Pat Burrell. Deadspin did some "investigative" work earlier this week. Here are the links if you want to read more:

I think it's hilarious. Humor in the clubhouse can go a long way in keeping a team loose and it looks like it's working so far for the Giants...especially considering Pat hasn't done squat with the bat yet in the WS.
