Fresno Welcomes Its Newest Fresnan: Buster Posey
SF Giant prospect, Buster Posey, got called up to the Grizzlies yesterday. Those of you reading this that aren't Buster or Giant fans, might not know that Posey is the Giants number two prospect and one of the top in baseball. Every indication is that Busta is going to be playing for the parent club by next spring, if not this September.
So. Buster. What's up man? Welcome to The 'No. You may be thinking "What the hell am I going to do in my downtime here?" Don't listen to your teammates, they probably don't know shit. Fresno's biggest nerds have some suggestions for you:
RADIO STATION
Ahhhh, you might want to look into getting a Sirius, but if you must listen to our stations, go with 90.7 The FOX for classic. KFSR 90.7 for nighttime listening. 104.1 for…rock. Y101 for vanilla. KMJ for bullshit. We guess B95 for R&B, but we're not sure on that one.
FOOD
We really hope you like tacos and/or tri-tip because you're in the place. Just ask any Fresnan, they'll have several suggestions for places. Also, we've got fresh fruit and veg coming out our fat orchard asses.
BARS
Just go to the Tower District, there are plenty of choices and we guarantee you'll eventually find one that's your favorite. But make sure you don't drive, Chief Shinny Head is watching.
TELEVISION NEWS
One word: Graciela.
MOVIE THEATER
Dude, if you don't care about hooking up with some teens, forget about Edwards in River Park. Head to Broadway Faire on West Shaw. It's rarely crowded and shows most of the same movies Edwards does.
OUTSIDENESS
If you get a rare day off, make a run up to one of our three National Parks [Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia] or if you just have a morning to kill, hit the Underground Gardens. If you happen to already have a kid or are a kid at heart, Storyland/Playland is a must. Also, find somebody with a pool…oh wait, you already have one.
So, there ya go, Buster, that should point you in the right direction. Enjoy your time here, don't forget us when you leave like The Freak probably has. Call if you need us.

The Fresnan 
“Also, we’ve got fresh fruit and veg coming out our fat orchard asses.” I think I heard this somewhere before…isn’t part of the new branding campaign put out by the CVB?
I LOVE Broadway Faire! Stop announcing it to the world, Mikey. It’s my secret lair for a reason! NO random teeny-boppin, vampire-lovin, Harry Potterphiles waiting in line to cream on themselves in the name of magic!
I like it that way so stop telling people about it!!
YAY!!! I’m super stoked about Buster comin to Fresno!!! I also can’t wait to see him in the rotation with Timmy, Matty and Sanchez! but he can chill in Fresno for now 😀
An all positions player, he is going to be kick ass!
wow. that was sexy.
It damn well should be.
Don’t worry MsJoey, nobody listens to me.
Also, is it me or does anybody else miss the board they had behind the concession stand that had the lit up signs for each theater that would flash “Now Seating” and junk? I don’t think they use it anymore.
Just don’t watch Moreno in high-def. It kills the illusion.
