<< And, um, the Padres have Garth Brooks on their payroll. Unless I am hallucinating, the local news just reported that Garth has joined the San Diego Padres, and will take a year off from music to play ball. Oh, and according to the report, he is a switch hitter. >> Ha, I saw this on CNN as well. Although the way they reported it, and this makes more sense, is that he's gonna participate in spring training in hopes of making the club. Yeah right. I'm not sure whose publicity stunt this is, but that's all it *can* be. Let's let the give the superstar celeb some PT with the big boys for a while. There's not a chance in hell he's making an A- ball roster, let alone the majors. I mean, if Michael Jordan, arguably one of the best athletes in the world, couldn't even hit his weight in AA, I don't think ol' Garth's gonna do much better. Mostly, I'm just fucking jealous. I'd love to be running around the base paths with an MLB team, or, if nothing else, the Padres. Damn him.
