Wow. 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.

The number on the shirt is 30.

As soon as I read that, I was like, OMG no David Wells is #3. And before you laugh at me for already knowing what number he is, it's only because I read in some article that it is great that he is #3, because it's like a big fuck you to Babe Ruth. Ostentibly because Wells was not "classy" enough for the Yankees, but if you think about it I think Wells had a hell of a lot more in common with the Babe than, say, A-Rod does. :P

I know very little about Babe Ruth, I must admit, but I think it's fair to assume that he would beat the shit out of A-Rod and then go out for beers with Wells after. =D

haha! Didn't they have 36 Cabrera and then he changed his number to 44 like right after.

Speaking of Olympia, I need to go out there and get another shirt. I hope they have Arroyo shirts...maybe I'll get Manny

Hi! I befriended you because, like, omg, I just spend 2 hours reading your LJ with all the stuff about A-Rod. And I wanted to leave a note, so you don't think I'm some weirdo (I am, but only during baseball season, damnit!) Anyway, yeah. so, hi. You don't have to friend me back (and I don't expect you because I'm falling in love with Pedro and I'm really a yankee fan even though I haven't acted like it... since they got rid of David Cone, LMAO) Anyway, yeah, hi! (and I'm currently on some pretty sweet cough syrup too, so this may not even make much sense.
