when it rains, it snows.

Dmitri Young has been signed to a minor league contract by the Nationals. Welcome to the IL, Dmitri! See you in Pawtucket! Also signed: Tony Batista, who I thought was dead. Batista has that really weird batting stance that my sister and I could not stop imitating in like '03.

Other uninteresting roster moves involving marginal players: Kerry Ligtenberg will play for the AAA Louisville Bats (YES!) and former Red Sox great Lenny Dinardo will be an Athletic. From what I understand, he's on the big team. Hooray for everyone and I will miss Dinardo.

Now, for the important stuff. Whenever it snows, my city has a parking ban and I have to go find a place to park my car other than on the street. So I got lucky last night and got a good spot at the school about a block away.

This morning when I walked down the street to my car, it'd been blocked in by another car who backed in right up to my bumper. In front of me: icy curb, solid brick school. Behind me: FuckheadMobile.
I spent the next half hour inching forward, cutting the wheel, inching back, cutting, wiggling, my windows and mirrors all steamed over with hot hot rage.

I AM TALKING TO YOU, BLACK VOLVO OWNER WHO BLOCKED ME IN AT ELLA RISK AND WHOSE LICENSE PLATE STARTS WITH 'DM'.

PS George Kottaras is the man. I could fall in love with him and so could you.

Rookies might say, Okay, a TMBG song as the title. But veteran BH readers will look deeper to find the other songs by TMBG in the post: "Dead," "Window," "No" (hidden in the word "not"), "Ant," (hidden in "important"), "Tree" (hidden in "street"), "MOR" (hidden in "morning"), and many, many more.

Re: parking: welcome to NY. I recently watched a guy get out of a spot where the car in front of him and in back of him were both touching his car. It was impressive.

Ligtenberg: The only player in MLB history whose name starts with "Lig."

Interesting the plate started with DM.
