Waiting for the Other Cleat to Drop

We're very sad about the canning of 1st baseman great JT Snow from the Giants. We do not have any clue about where he will go now.

"We" are the the company of the yahoogroups "Wildaboutjtsnow" - not too surprisingly, mostly women. Right now, bitter, angry, Giant-hating women. At least one other fan is considering jumping ship to become a full time Diamondbacks fan. I just can't quite get over their turquoise get-ups. That color belongs on a cabaret show stage, not a ballfield.

I sent JT a letter last week thanking him for getting me into baseball, and for his heroics at 1st base. I included a copy of a clipping I love of him in a comical post-fly-ball pose that looks like he's in wrestling match with an invisible partner and he's losing. He never let pride get in the way of his job.

May I be as diligent and honest in my office chair as JT was on the Giants' playing field.
