Interlude

So apparently Derek Lowe showed up in Florida and was working out with the Sox until the boys upstairs kicked him out. Derek Lowe, you great big cutie! Awww he just wants to stay with his friends and he's OK with being a Dodger but not with leaving these guys he's played with for what, 7 years? People. Please. The story writes itself.

Awwww.

That - was kind of exactly what I needed after exhausting myself with the Princess Saga all week. It was cute and a bit sad and oddly amusing (the general response running everywhere from "WTF?" to "He's lost it, hasn't he?" - heeeee).

I am going to miss D-Lowe. If only because I enjoyed making fun of him for looking exactly like Owen Wilson.

The Princess Saga, oh man, hilarity heaped upon hilarity. I think they're just gonna go through the entire roster until everyone has said something about what an ass A-Rod is. At this point I'm just laughing about it, like, Matt Mantei went and chimed in? Matt Mantei? Who's been with the team like all of two weeks? Amazing.

And yeah, DLowe, off to the great blue yonder. I know I would've suffered immensely if he'd stuck around, but now that he's gone I've gotten all selective-memory about it. Ah well :)

The best part is that Mantei wouldn't even play. He was just like, "What? I like A-Rod."

But really, who's left? Personally, I can't wait till they get to the coaches. I can't be the only one dying to hear Dale Sveum's take.

That icon is the best thing I have seen all day. Maybe second best, there were some murderously tantalizing Tim Hudson shots on Sportscenter earlier. But so great. I laugh like something that laughs a lot.

Tito would just shake his head and spit a giant wad of something gross onto the ground, to signify his distate for A-Rod.

What is this, everyone post with their awesome icons to this story day? Seriously guys, I think my funny bone has broken.

Aw, you know SOMEone has to be ribbing Youks about his clothes. There is no way he gets away with that stuff in that clubhouse.

Much love. Oh, DLowe! Sigh.

I enjoyed this a lot. D Lowe plays for my team of choice now, but I could really feel the pain of transition in this piece and I'm sure it's never easy.

Thanks for a great fic!
