Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
It's always best to cut 1,500 words of a story on the day you were going to post it.
But the March holiday fic is going to be up before I goddamn sleep. That, I am sure of. IF I HAVE TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT FIGHTING WITH MYSELF, SO BE IT.
So, baseball. I watched Detroit and New York play today. Jeter was disturbingly endearing when he described his shoulder as "aiiight" and tried to play off the sting caused by an awkward catch with a huge grin. Kevin Brown pitched pretty poorly after being irked by the fielding he was getting. Then, they interviewed him and he was possilby more modest than I've heard him in a while. He gave the interviewer a few incredulous looks when he asked stupid questions, so it wasn't too modest or I'd accuse him of A-Rod-ery. And they showed Ivan Rodriguez in shorts and sleeveless shirt running around and goddamn, does he look good this year. They talked to him and while they were talking about how he wanted to slim down because he wasn't moving like he wanted... they were showing Jorge waddling around and dropping a ball when he tried to throw it to first. Oops.
As far as the Rangers, a few observations...
How do you only have one rebound in a quarter? Ow.

- Laird should be our guy. I'm not being biased here. He is the guy of the future; he should be playing.
- Ricardo Rodriguez is in the minors again last I heard. It seems his elbow isn't all the way better yet, but he's pitching pretty well, considering.
- Ryan Drese has dropped a lot of weight. No one seems to be mentioning this, but he now has a defined jaw and less belly. He's looking pretty adorable, if you ask me.
- Kruck and the other dude on Baseball tonight agreed that the Angels have the best bullpen in the AL West. I thought that was cute. And by cute I mean disgusting.
