no playoffs

franchise qb questioned

head coach on fire

not personal bad luck, but his team sucked hard especially after last year

lol you can literally find some kind of bad luck tied to any player if you try hard enough. Its called "life's not perfect".

Calvin Johnson was on the Madden cover, and he broke Jerry Rice's rec. yards record.

Posey is in 2nd to last place on the MLB 13 Cover Vote. McCutchen is going to win by a mile it looks like. Hes at 78,000, Posey is only at 20,000.

Because SF fans know what is important and what isnt. This most certainly isnt.

Its good for his publicity. Its also an honor, regardless of how insignificant.

You dont care, because im guessing you arent into gaming. But the people who play the game would like to see him on the cover.

I play video games and honestly don't care. The dude has been ultra successful during his time as a pro. Who cares about being on the cover of a game. Plus, I'm a bit superstitious and I don't want any bad luck from it.

I know The Show hasn't really been recognized for having bad luck coverboys, but Adrian Gonzalez had a tough year with all that BS in Boston, Joe Mauer has never gotten right. I guess I'm just superstitious that way.

Joe Mauer is hitting .315 with 2 all-star selections and a top 8 MVP finish in the 3 years since he first was on the cover...

People in the Bay Area have more important things to do than vote for silly things evidently.

For someone who doesnt play video games, or care at all about this, you sure have alot to say.

The cover of MLB 13 isn't a big deal. I'll play the game though.

He's also richer than anyone else on this board combined.

Does it matter? Really? I just wouldnt care whether Buster Posey was on the cover of the game whether I played it or not. Just not a big deal at all to me. I think its fine that its important to you but totally get it why others wouldnt.

Giants signed RHP Mason Tobin to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. Had TJ surgery in 2009; released by the Rangers last year.

Who knows, he may never make the majors but I'm always intrigued by a signing, especially a pitcher since the Giants seem excellent in evaluating them and finding them.
