Unusual postgame scene involving Aurilia
When reporters were let into the clubhouse after tonight's 4-2 loss, Rich Aurilia was having a conversation by his locker with bench coach Ron Wotus. It ended with the two men hugging.
That often means a players has been told to pack up his locker, but the Giants made no announcement after the game and Aurilia said as he left, "I've got nothing to say, guys. See you tomorrow."
Here is an educated guess: The Giants need to clear a roster spot for Nate Schierholtz, who is due to come off the disabled list tonight. Aurilia is the logical candidate to go and has been given some sort of indication of that. But the team is still not sure whether Juan Uribe who is battling a leg injury, is ready to play and are waiting to see how he feels tomorrow or the next day before the Giants make a move.
