The Miami Marlins elected to end their reality show on Showtime early, because they didn’t want the world to see the inner workings of their subpar baseball team. Details, after the jump.

Via Philly sports blog Crossing Broad, comes this interesting story about a possible confrontation involving eccentric San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson. And if it’s true, we might see it on Showtime’s Giants docudrama, The Franchise.

Last night marked the debut of The Franchise: A Season with the San Francisco Giants, a Showtime series chronicling — you guessed it — a season with the San Francisco Giants.

Early reviews indicate that the show might be worth checking out — for no other reason than to hear what Brian Wilson “has to say about each and every thing that happens to these Giants.” Fans who tuned into the show’s debut, however, were treated to an up-close view of Buster Posey’s destroyed ankle.

Allan Rivera Manuel is a 26-year-old from Houston who bears such a resemblance to Manny Pacquiao that he’s turned it into a profession.

Remember when the San Francisco Giants won the World Series and you couldn’t go anywhere (this site included, mind you) without hearing all about crazy closer Brian Wilson? Those days might not be over yet.
