All I want for Christmas is.....

I don't like winter. I can't help it. The wind blows, the weather is cold and all anyone wants to talk about is football. When I even mention baseball, I get the "Are the Ranger's going to get pitching?" I hate that question, do they think I don't wish for a shiny new pitcher, (dimpled would be nice) under my Christmas tree every night when I go to bed?

Today someone told me the Astros got Hampton, heck, I thought he was dead..oh no wait, he just hasn't played in years. Gee..Dis-Astros fans, thanks for the update!

While Snakeman is very diplomatic about Kam's departure to Japan, I am not so thrilled. Yes, I want Kam to have the opportunity to be a starter & have a great career. On the other hand, I am sad it'll be hard to keep up with him. The ladies will miss him, he is a nice guy and a good friend to the Ladies of the Snakepit. Heck, Aubrey is his "prettyest" fan.

Salty, let's chat a little Salty. He is tearing up the Domincan league. I am certain there will be a statue erected in his honor. (It won't need quite the rebar Bott's needed).

Toys for Tot's is coming up and I hope you all will join us at the Ballpark to give to the less fortunate. I am looking forward to seeing Santa, I have an "ever so small list"...

1) The earlier mentioned Shiny new pitcher that can throw a fastball like no body's business, with a change up, curve & maybe even a nice little cutter. He doesn't have to have 15 pitches, just 3 good ones!

2.) Salty behind the plate a bit more. From my "snakes eye view" it makes for some good watching.

3.) Keeping Rrrrrramon on the team. No one fills out a uniform quite like he does. If in doubt, we'll be happy to sell you a "Cup Check" calendar. The proof is in the picture!

4.) Trade Blalock, trade Blalock, trade Blalock, before he hurts himself again...Erin knows exactly why.

5.) BANISH the kiss cam. God knows no one wants to watch some old man suck some hag's face on the big screen. Good corneas for replacement are hard to come by.

6.) MORE COWBELL..needs no explanation, Erin likes the Cowbell

7.) Maybe a new manager???? I'm still not sold on Washington and for sure do not understand a word he says.

8.) I'd love a World Series, if not that at the very least a great playoff run.

I've been real good all year. I have only offended a few people & have not pulled any drunken stunts. Most importantly, I have used my filter MOST of the time.

So Santa, I do deserve something shiny & new!!
