So maybe he just got caught up with Calypso for a bit, and now wants to come hope.

Looking forward to watching him pitch in 2032.

He's probably looking forward to being anointed with oils on his journey home. @tdawg87?

Really? She's pretty hot.

Do MLB players all hang out with hot blondes?

We’re gonna need to consult with AJ on this.

I get laid, whether I'm employed or not.

Your wife doesn't seem to mind, either way.

That's uncalled for. 

Be better than that.

Thank you.  It’s sad when people lose sight of things and start attacking each other on a personal level.

I bet mmc doesn't call him out for being emotional.

[Lazorko Saves]

Why not?  I would like to see the "peach tree" jersey on the field again.

and there's really no downside for the Halos on this btw.  Potentially nice back end pen arm for nothing.   Still has options.  If he sucks then he can figure it out in the minors or quit again. No skin off the Angel's teeth.  

No way he passes the good clubhouse guy test.

We call that the DFI, or Dexter Fowler Index.

I checked with him. He said he'd get back to us as soon as he's done reading The Odyssey.

Make sure you tell him to read The Iliad, too.

Why? Because he doesn't love baseball and has the balls to take a different path? We don't know how authentic his statement is, but assuming that is--and I see no reason not to accept it at face value--it makes perfect sense.

Speaking of education, remember your Homer. Achilles said that it is better to be a beggar in the land of the living than a king in the land of the dead. While there are different ways to interpret that, one would be: better to live a life that makes you feel alive (and happy) than to sell your soul for money doing something that you hate.

Well, make sure he reads it again.

Will do. 

[failos]

Isn’t that passage he referenced from The Oddessy? I bet he’s never read either poems.

[Lazorko Saves]

Buttrey does know that there's a lockout that will last forever and there will never be baseball again, right?

[arch stanton]

If I thought I could take a year off in my mid20’s then get my high paying job back at any time you can bet your ass I’d have done it. 
 

And if you haven’t read Homer in the language he published in then you’re just fronting and posing about your smarts

He misses fans and misses teammates and misses competing. Sounds like he grew up a bit.

I’ll tell you what he missed.  The strike zone.  Learn to find that, and you’ll find happiness.

I’m glad he found what he was looking for, whatever it was.
