Feb. 23rd, 2005 07:37 pmWow. Check out some of the quotes in this article. Barry Bonds is what would happen if A-Rod was stupid.
Seriously. The guy sounds like he thinks he's being so cagey when he's really just an incoherent, circumlocuting mess. A-Rod's sentences in his little press conference were meaningless, but at least the words were attractively arranged.
I'd really like to write about something other than A-Rod for a change, but I got nothin'. Today I went to work and it was boring. Okay, I got this one customer who became unbelieveably hostile when I told him that yes, I did in fact have to scan his breakfast sandwiches. That was pretty funny.
But mostly? Nothing. I mean, if I had a life, would I have had time to follow the Princess Saga so obsessively?
. . . okay, I do have one good story. Over the weekend, I went to the Olympia Sports out at the mall and found that Wells shirt I was going on about. The number on the shirt is 30. Cut to yesterday, when I am looking at the cover of our local paper, which features a picture from spring training. I spot the shirt with the big 30 on the back. Except - that's totally not David Wells. That's Matt Clement.
Huh.
I get home, I hop on mlb.com, I do a little research.
Clement is 30. Wells is 3.
OPLYMPIA SPORTS GOT THE SHIRT WRONG.
You lose, Olympia Sports. I'm so glad I was too lazy to take off the tags, because I am returning that sucker. Sure, it might be a collector's item someday, but I'd rather have the twenty bucks now.
