"You've got to be a little bit crazy."

Those are the wise words of San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, whose wacky appearance on George Lopez last night -- complete with "Finding Nemo" socks and Thailand massage parlor references -- has hit the viral Internet waves like a hundred mile an hour fastball.

The World Series-winning closer, already known for being a wild child of sorts, appeared on "Lopez Tonight" dressed in a sea captain outfit complete with gray beard and pipe to promote his short films for the MLB 2K11 video game on XBox, but much of the conversation featured Wilson and Lopez trading baseball inspired sexual innuendo.

Check out the footage of this hilarious interview:



Wilson clearly has a big personality, leading many baseball fans to either love him or hate him. Naturally, Twitter has similarly polarized opinions about the pitcher's latest antics.
