The Field

one of the potentials told mp that a girl should not have a starting line-up for dating. mp told her she was just annoyed because she had to compete for her spot in the rotation.

they probably won't be going out again...

but, the fact is, mp doesn't lie. aside from the fact that she's really bad at it, she just doesn't see the point. yes, there is a heirarchy among her potentials. yes, there are people she would never take to the things she loves the most (like hockey games or concerts). why? because in order for my person to sit in the same place with someone for 3 or more hours, she has to be sure that the potential won't get on her nerves-- or whine. it doesn't mean the others are less-valued; it's just that they need to spend time together in other ways.

everyone that mp takes out is treated like a princess. even the player that complained about not getting enough at-bats wanted a kiss goodnight. the time spent with someone does not neccessarily relate to the intensity of affection felt for them... it's just that no one should sign someone as a free agent based upon a simple scouting trip. no one should be made a franchise player without years of consistent production.

yeah, mp has a starting line-up for dating.... but she manages well, plays fair, and makes sure everyone gets a chance to demonstrate their prowess (at whatever position they prefer to play). the fact that she scouts wherever she goes... well, who wouldn't be flattered by being flashed a white board that says "ME=A**** YOU=HOT."

it's spring, and the new season is coming up. if you have the desire to be a future "amazing (mp) date survey" recipient, drop me a line. i screen all of the new potentials for mp, because that girl's taste is all in her mouth.
