EXTRA! EXTRA! Tim Krapivkin received two more vaccination injections (I just think that "injections" sounds so much more B.A. than "shots")! This time around I got my meningitis (I know, I should have gotten that one a while ago) and my yellow fever vaccines. It may just be me, but needles seem to tear up muscle tissue like no other. My left shoulder had just gotten over the soreness of the last shots I had and then today I got another one right in my left shoulder. Oh mama(!), is it sore right now. On the bright side however, I did get a couple of sweet band-aids for my trouble (a Bugs Bunny one and I believe the other was a Daffy Duck). So the trip for more shots wasn't completely fruitless. Speaking of fruitless, I think the receptionist may have been "happy" and he wants me to post photos of my trip on Flickr so he can look at them (I didn't even wear a V-neck this time. I was, however, wearing shorts so it may have been in response to my "Greek God" calves. I guess Kara and Katie weren't joking around about that). Anywho, I'm basically all squared away on the shots I need (although, I do get one more hepatitis A & B combo on Friday. Bringing my shot total up to 7 in an 8 day span) and then I'm off to Ethiopia next Tuesday and will be gone til July 21st. Now before everyone goes into panic mode after reading the last part of the last sentence, I will do my best at keeping a journal over there so I will be able to fill all of you in on what happened over there when I return. However, journaling does seem to be my only natural nemesis on the earth (right behind the evil man that uses the leaf blower at school at 8 AM) so my entries may not be much, but it will be better than nothing and if I am able to journal everyday, there should be an adequate amount of reading material for you all.
It just wouldn't be a "Thats What She Said..." blog without some sort of randomness. So with that in mind, I would just like to say how pathetic the management of the San Francisco Giants really is. Sabean finally got a clue when he demoted Burriss to triple-A Fresno today, but he still has Fred Lewis with the major league team and a perennial waste of playing time in Rich Aurillia. Those two players have been given more than enough opportunity to prove they can play at the highest level, but they haven't shown they can. They are road blocks for the players that are in the minors that will actually help the Giants in the future. Instead of playing younger guys that are showing promise, the Giants keep giving out second chances (and third and fourth and fifth and sixth and... you get the point) to these two. But Sabean isn't the one entirely responsible for this mess (although, he is the one keeping those two in the majors for God knows what reason), Bochy is the one that keeps plugging them into the line-up. Bochy shows the baseball intelligence of a squirrell (and not the one that can water ski, he could probably manage better than Bochy). The Giants have not given Travis Ishikawa any real chance to play at First and only give Andres Torres a pinch-hit at-bat here and there. Torres smashed a homerun yesterday and rewarded tonight by being kept in the dugout the entire game (which was a lost cause in the 4th inning thanks to Bochy's ineptitude and Sabeans pathetic mismanagement of the organization). I will reiterate what I had said in an earlier post; the Giants better fire Bochy and Sabean by next year or my faith in humanity (or more specifically, my faith in the Giants franchise) will be utterly annihilated (again, I think "annihilated" sounds much more B.A. than "shattered" or "destroyed").
Goodnight cyberspace.
