Deadspin

Is that Captain Jack Sparrow or a washed up 80s rocker?

San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson is coming to town this weekend for a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

But maybe he'll take time between games to visit The Venue in Scottsdale. Judging by recently released Spring Training pictures, Wilson knows how to party -- if your idea of partying involves dressing up like a pirate Bret Michaels and hanging out with chicks wearing Lady Gaga Jazzerise© outfits.

The pictures, published by Deadspin, remind us of the (in)famous scene in Bull Durham where Annie Savoy gives Nuke Laloosh women's underwear on the mound to improve his performance.

What are the odds Wilson, known for his various eccentricities and successes as a pitcher, wears ripped up tights underneath his uniform?

On second thought, we don't want to know.
