The One Where Snow Might Come Back!!!!

This article made me happy, angry and sad at the same time. Happy at the prospect of a man coming back to San Francisco, a man who loved SF as much as it loved him. Angry because the hillbilly loving, error-making, sorry -excuse-for-a-Snow-replacement champion of striking out might actually heal. Sad because a great man is homesick, while his fans are Snowsick (haha get it).

The Giants remain committed to Lance Niekro as their first baseman and look forward to his return from the disabled list, but they are said to have not ruled out reacquiring J.T. Snow if Niekro is unable to stay healthy.

Many boxes would have to be checked before the Giants seriously considered a run at Snow, whom the Boston Red Sox are attempting to trade because he is languishing on the bench. Issue 1 is Niekro's health. He is on the DL with bursitis in his right shoulder and has a history of shoulder troubles.

However, Niekro is much improved and hoping to play as soon as he is eligible Tuesday. Head trainer Stan Conte confirmed that, saying, "We're shooting for Tuesday. I don't know if we are going to make it."

One roadblock to a Snow return is his contract. History suggests the Giants would not want to pay the remainder of his $2 million salary, particularly if they forecast more pressing needs come the trading deadline. They might be more inclined to consider a trade if Boston ate a big chunk of the money.

Snow played in San Francisco from 1997 to 2005. Before he publicly stated he wanted out of Boston, he phoned at least one friend in the Giants' organization, wondering if they would have him back.

Come back JT!

The One Where I Am Having A Bad Day

I am having such a bad day.

1) I had my personal cell phone AND my work cellphone stolen. This in turn made me lose the little faith I had in humanity. I think humans are corrupt greedy individuals. The ones that live around Eastern Daly City at least. They should just tear down all of the houses around there and erect a massive jailhouse spanning 4 blocks to house all the criminals that live around my neighborhood. And yes, blasting your mariachi music at 1am is considered a crime.

2) Additionally I was aggravated by this news article: JT Snow wants out of Boston. He really should get out. Why would he want to be surrounded by a bunch of people who sound like they have a speech impediment anyway?

3) I have a huge canker sore in the side of my mouth.

The One Where I Hate Checks.

I was in line at Trader Joe's the other day and I had the unfortunate pleasure of being stuck behind a woman who wrote a check to pay for her purchase. This prompted me to pause and ask myself "Who in god's holy name still writes checks at a grocery store?!" It's the equivalent of of driving behind an elderly lady going 10mph. You have to pull your checkbook out of your bag, write the dollar amt, yadda yadda yadda on it (oh and lucky me, she was one of SLOW writers), wait for the checker to verify the amount on the check, only before checker asks you for your license after which you dig through your purse to find your OTHER wallet only to have to pull said driver's license out of its little clear wallet compartment because the cashier is unable to read the full name after which he proceeds to write authorization, date, and other crap on the check. In the meantime the person behind you is growing gray hairs and secretly wishes to kick you in the nuts because maybe they're missing a baseball game on TV. Seriously, who writes checks at the store anymore? It's the equivalent of having an eight-track. It's the equivalent of having a 1G computer. My checkbook is god-knows-where collecting dust. Two words people: debit cards. One more word: convenience. Look into it!

The One Where Price William Is Ugly

Dude seriously what happened to Prince William?

HOT

NOT

He needs a little face cream or something. Perhaps genetic alteration (you know, to remove Prince Charles' half)? Maybe a paper bag?

I can't believe that I used to dream about having babies with him.
