Snoop talks a lot. And he’s wrong … a lot. Quantity over quality is the prevailing theme here. Before Friday’s game, Snoop talked a lot … said a lot of things. Most notably, he said that he didn’t expect Jason Bay to be back at all this season.
Well, no offense but, I don’t expect to be slapped with a restraining order if I drop by Jennifer Aniston’s house with a box of chocolates and a bootleg DVD of The Expendables. The chances of people trusting what I expect are about the same as the chances that people trust what Snoop Manuel expects. Remember, same guy who wanted to use Frankie Rodriguez the same day he was handcuffed in Kew Gardens.
But the thing he said that nobody else heard at the time actually helped out one person.
“I’m not putting you in the four spot because you’re a slugger, I’m putting you in the four spot because you’re a great hitter.” -Snoop to Chris “Animal” Carter before the game.
Carter said it made him feel better, and he had a home run and two RBI’s to help beat the Pirates 7-2. Aah! With one line, Snoop goes from your crazy uncle with the conspiracy theories to Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi in one fell swoop. Or at least that rat from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. What was his name? Splinter? The Animal now has a personal sensei. Or maybe Snoop has been taking his cognitive health vitamins.
Of course, Jason Bay is “a different animal”. And after Friday’s win, Snoop said that Bay was feeling better, and that could possibly return this season.
Because Snoop is the expert on concussions, y’know. And six hours can make all the difference in a person’s brain.
Oh well, at least August 20th will prove him correct … one way or the other.
